Two friends were walking through the forest when they stumbled upon a deep, dark cave. Curiosity getting the better of them, they decided to explore the cave and see what mysteries it held.
As they ventured deeper and deeper into the cave, they heard strange noises and felt a chill run down their spines. Suddenly, they came upon a large, menacing dragon guarding a pile of glittering treasure.
Terrified, one friend turned to the other and said, "We need to get out of here before that dragon eats us alive!"
But the other friend shook his head and said, "No, we can outsmart the dragon. I have a plan."
With that, he stepped forward and approached the dragon, holding out a bag of marshmallows. The dragon sniffed the sweet treats and hesitantly accepted one, then another, and soon was munching happily on marshmallows.
The first friend was amazed. "How did you know that dragons like marshmallows?"
The second friend chuckled and replied, "Oh, I read it in a book once. It said that dragons love sweets and will do anything for a marshmallow. Now, while the dragon is distracted, let's grab some treasure and make a run for it!"
And so, the two friends loaded up on as much treasure as they could carry and made a hasty escape from the cave, leaving the happy, marshmallow-eating dragon behind.
As they emerged back into the sunlight, the first friend turned to the second and said, "I can't believe that actually worked! I guess you really can outsmart a dragon with marshmallows."
The second friend grinned and replied, "Yep, always trust in the power of sugar when faced with a fire-breathing beast. And hey, at least we got some treasure out of it!"
And so, the two friends laughed and continued on their journey, forever bonded by their crazy adventure in the cave with the marshmallow-loving dragon.
