Once upon a time, there was a young prince named William. He lived in a grand castle with his parents, the king and queen. William was a curious boy and loved to explore the kingdom.

One day, while wandering through the forest, William stumbled upon a large cave. He cautiously entered the cave and was surprised to find a dragon sleeping inside. But what caught his eye was the pile of treasure next to the dragon.

William's eyes widened in amazement as he saw the glittering gold and precious jewels. He had always dreamed of being rich and having all the treasures in the world. He quickly ran back to the castle to tell his parents about his discovery.

The king and queen were overjoyed and immediately sent their knights to retrieve the treasure. But when they returned, they were shocked to find that the treasure was not gold, but something far more precious - books.

The dragon had been collecting books from all over the kingdom, hoping to one day read them all. William was disappointed at first, but as he started reading the books, he realized the true value of the dragon's treasure.

He learned about different cultures, explored new worlds, and gained knowledge that he could never have imagined. He also discovered a love for reading that he never knew he had.

As he read more and more, William's heart began to change. He no longer cared about the gold and jewels, but instead, he cherished the books and the knowledge they held.

In the end, William made a difficult choice. He decided to leave the treasure with the dragon and instead, asked for the dragon's friendship. The dragon was delighted and from that day on, they spent many hours reading and discussing their favorite books.

William returned to the castle a changed prince. He no longer cared about wealth, but instead, valued the love and knowledge he had gained from the dragon's treasure. And from that day on, he lived happily ever after. The end.
