There was a city called Silene. The people of Silene were not Christians but they were happy. Every day they took water from a  spring near the city and lived a simple life. One day a dragon made its nest next to the spring and life became very difficult for them!
They needed water, but they were scared of the dragon. Many men tried to fight the dragon but they all failed.
The people of Silene neede water so they thought of a plan. They took  him a sheep to eat and while the dragon was distracted they took water from the spring.But one day they didn't have any sheep. They became more and more thirsty and eventually, in desperation, they decided to take the dragon a young girl instead. 
One day, it was the  turn of Silene's princess.  The king begged and begged: "not my daughter, please", but nobody listened and they took the princess to the dragon.
While the princess was in front of the dragon, Saint George came on his horse. Seeing the pretty princess, he made the sign of the cross (to show he was a Christian) and fought the dragon. Then he rescued the princess.
The citizens were so impressed with him that they converted to Christianity.
