In the allegory "The Dragon", a prosperous village's river mysteriously dries up, and a "madman" insists it is being drunk by a dragon "born from their sweat". The villagers follow him to the source and find the monster, but, terrified, they stone their would-be savior. They ultimately choose servitude, agreeing to worship the dragon in exchange for the mere "drool" it allows to escape its mouth.
