Identify the author's purpose: After a long journey, the brave knight carefully stumbled into the abandoned castle. As he quietly walked around, he couldn't believe his eyes. Gold, diamonds and jewels filled the bedroom. "This could be all mine!" he thought to himself. As he went to take a closer look, he heard footsteps behind him. "Not so fast. Who are you and what are you doing in my castle?" a voice boomed. Nervously, the scared knight turned around and gasped. There in front of him stood a 10-foot, fire breathing, green scaled dragon. "Uh oh," thought the knight.
