The Dragon" is a short story by American writer Ray Bradbury, originally published in 1955 in the magazine Esquire.

The story concerns two knights who have a mission to slay a dragon. They describe the dragon as huge, fire-breathing, and horrific, having only one eye. They charge the dragon but fail, presumably dying in the attempt.

The "dragon" is then revealed to be a steam train, and its single eye is the train's headlight. The operators discuss the encounter but continue on without attempting to find the knights. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Dragon (Ray Bradbury)
