Flaming dragon at Michael's coronation?????? 

I HAVE to hear this story. Anyone care to elaborate?

Greetings,

 

While Crandal’s simple explanation is accurate, you ask for elaboration.
Possibly I can fill in a few gaps.

  

First this dragon was head and neck above 6 ft tall and about 12 ft long,
breathing fire and hissing when he entered the hall.  He was a real DRAGON
in all aspects.  True, Prince Mikael was distracted when he entered and
started up the center aisle; about two thirds of the way down the aisle, the
dragon seemed to get a lump in his throat. With an animal’s instinct, he
coughed to clear his throat but only caused more fire to fill his nose
instead of breathing it out.  Now, he was feeling the heat of the flames as
a few brave souls jumped up to try to extinguish the fire and give him ease.


 

Thinking they had succeeded and stepping back, the dragon coughed 

again with the same results.  Again they tried to put the flames out but to
no avail.  The dragon began thrashing about and Prince Mikael, seeing the
possible tragedy developing, leapt from the dais (a four foot stage) grabbed


a wet towel and bravely threw it over the poor dragon’s head and put out the
flames.  The dragon backed out of the hall with the smoldering pieces
leaving a trail of stench that definitely did not smell like chicken.

 

Prince Mikael turned and strode back up to the dais, gave a Kingly wave to
the crowd, spun around and resumed the coronation.  Needless to say the hall
echoed with many Vivats and much applause.

 

At least this is as I recalled seeing it,
