`` There is more . '' `` Then the story is n't done ? '' cried Jack . `` Oh dear , no ; the most interesting things are to come , if you can wait for them . '' `` Yes , I see , this is the moral part . Now keep still , and let us have the rest , '' commanded Frank , while the others composed themselves for the sequel , suspecting that it was rather nice , because Mamma 's sober face changed , and her eyes laughed as they looked at the fire . `` The elder prince was very fond of driving dragons , for the people of that country used these fiery monsters as horses . '' `` And got run away with , did n't he ? '' laughed Jack , adding , with great interest , `` What did the other fellow do ? '' `` He went about fighting other people 's battles , helping the poor , and trying to do good . But he lacked judgment , so he often got into trouble , and was in such a hurry that he did not always stop to find out the wisest way . As when he gave away his best coat to a beggar boy , instead of the old one which he intended to give . '' `` I say , that is n't fair , mother ! Neither of them was new , and the boy needed the best more than I did , and I wore the old one all winter , did n't I ? '' asked Jack , who had rather exulted over Frank , and was now taken down himself . `` Yes , you did , my dear ; and it was not an easy thing for my dandiprat to do . Now listen , and I 'll tell you how they both learned to be wiser . The elder prince soon found that the big dragons were too much for him , and set about training his own little one , who now and then ran away with him . Its name was Will , a good servant , but a bad master ; so he learned to control it , and in time this gave him great power over himself , and fitted him to be a king over others . '' `` Thank you , mother ; I 'll remember my part of the moral .
Now give Jack his , '' said XXXXX , who liked the dragon episode , as he had been wrestling with his own of late , and found it hard to manage .
