In this story, it's not the princess but the prince who is captured by a wicked dragon. Using her wits, the princess outsmarts the dragon and rescues him. But the prince, instead of thanking the princess for saving him, shows no gratitude at all. So the princess tells him something he never expected: she won't be marrying him after all….
