I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher.

dragons stories potters
Nearly all monster stories depend for their success on Jack killing the Giant, Beowulf or St. George slaying the Dragon, Harry Potter triumphing over the basilisk. That is their inner grammar, and the whole shape of the story leads towards it.
