5
George was born in a noble Christian family in Lydda, Syria in AD 280.
6
At the age of 14, George lost his father.
7
And then after a few years, he lost his mother as well.
8
One day, he went to meet the Emperor of Nicomedia.
9
Your Majesty, I have come to ask a favor from you.
10
Huh?
11
Favor?
12
What favor you need, young man?
13
Your Majesty, my father died two years ago and now I have lost my mother too.
14
I am sorry to hear about your parents.
15
What can I do for you?
16
My father was serving as a soldier in your army.
17
In my army?
18
Tell me, what was his name?
19
His name was Gerontius.
20
What?
21
Gerontius?
22
Are you Gerontius' son?
23
Yes, my lord.
24
How can I forget Gerontius?
25
He was one of my finest soldiers.
26
Your Majesty, I...
27
I wish to join your army.
28
Why not?
29
Your father was a very honest and brave soldier.
30
I will let you join the army to honor your father.
31
Thank you, my lord.
32
The next day, George joined the army of the Emperor Diocletian.
33
George was very hard-working, and by the time he reached his late 20s, he had become the imperial guard of the Emperor.
34
In the meantime, a dragon was creating a lot of trouble in the nearby city of Selene.
35
Hey, did you hear about the dragon by the side of the spring?
36
Yes, I heard about it.
37
It has started living near the spring, which is our only source for water.
38
No one is able to draw water from the spring nowadays.
39
I know, people are dying of thirst and hunger.
40
Hmm, I've heard that creature is very ferocious.
41
People are now offering sheeps everyday to calm this creature.
42
Hmm, but doesn't it feed on humans too?
43
Yes, once the livestock is exhausted, Igmae turned to human beings.
44
Hey, Hannah, what happened?
45
Why are you crying?
46
They, they took my daughter.
47
Oh no! Who?
48
Tell us what happened.
49
They took my daughter to feed the dragon. Who?
50
Miriam?
51
Why did they take her to the dragon?
52
It seems that the dragon is fed up of eating the sheep.
53
Now, they have started feeding the virgins of our town to feed this monster.
54
But, Hannah, who decided to take Miriam to the dragon?
55
It's the town chief.
56
He is drawing lots to decide who should be sent to the dragon.
57
This is ridiculous.
58
On one hand the dragon is blocking our drinking water.
59
On the other hand, it is feeding on our people.
60
Only God can save us from this menace.
61
I am sure God is punishing the Emperor for all his wrongdoing.
62
One day, the lot fell for the daughter of the town chief and he was very upset.
63
No, you are the town chief.
64
Please don't let them take our daughter away.
65
Please don't be upset.
66
I will give them money and send some other Virgin in her place.
67
Thank you dear.
68
Cheer up dear.
69
We will not let them send our daughter to the dragon.
70
But master, how is it possible?
71
The lot was taken in the town council and the entire town know about it.
72
That is true Master.
73
The people will not allow us to take lots anymore and then the dragon will create a havoc.
74
The town councilors managed to convince the town chief
75
and he had to send his daughter unwillingly to the nesting place of the dragon.
76
Oh God!
77
The Almighty!
78
Save me from this dragon!
79
Then suddenly George, who was doing his routine rounds, reached there and saw what was happening.
80
Huh?
81
What is happening here?
82
Why are you all crying?
83
Oh, George, it's you.
84
What happened, Chief?
85
Why is everyone gathered here?
86
George, today it is the turn of my daughter.
87
She, she's going to be offered to the dragon.
88
What?
89
Your daughter is offered as food to this monster?
90
I can't believe this.
91
We have no other options.
92
We were feeding his sheep earlier, and he's feeding on the virgins of this town.
93
No, this should not happen.
94
We should put an end to this.
95
But, nobody has the courage to fight with the dragon.
96
It is proving fire, and it's spreading deadly diseases.
97
Oh, is it so?
98
Let me give it a try.
99
George, you have to be careful.
100
This dragon is very, very deadly.
101
By the sign of the Holy Cross and my faith in Jesus Christ, I will have the protection to fight this demon.
102
Psssssss, come here!
103
When the dragon saw what George was doing, the dragon turned his attention onto George.
104
The dragon lashed its tail at George, but George evaded the blow.
105
Then the dragon blew fire, but George raised his shield.
106
Hey demon, you cannot stand against the power of the almighty.
107
He has made this universe and all that is present in it, the good and the bad.
108
Then George took his spear and pierced the throat of the dragon.
109
And the dragon was dead.
110
The whole town couldn't believe this.
111
Look at that!
112
George has killed the dragon!
113
Wow!
114
He has freed the city from that evil demon.
115
We are safe now!
116
Thank you.
117
Thank you George for your brave act.
118
The city of Selene will be always be indebted to you.
119
Thank thee, Almighty God!
120
It is He who gives the strength to overcome the power of the evil.
121
The people of Selene rejoiced that day and thanked George for saving them from the dragon.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
