Prince Gallow received directions from a man in blue to get to the Seven-head Dragon of Dragore (Thurber, 67). Gallow accomplished his mission when he encountered a man “dressed in black and blue” that gave him seven balls for the price of twelve emeralds. In order to get the Sacred Sword of Loralow, all he had to do was to play a type of carnival game of throwing a ball into each of the seven heads of the mechanical Seven-headed Dragon of Dragore (who was sitting in a tent). The dragon was not wound by a key for its heads to go round and round, so Gallow threw the balls into the still dragon heads and won the sword. (Thurber, 70-72).
