A little later, the knight spied a second dragon in the thickets before him. This time the dragon had only one head, and thus the knight approached it fearlessly, sword in hand, But, although this dragon had only one head, it had one hundred legs, and in moments it rushed so quickly through the thicket, that it caught the reckless knight and made mincemeat of him.
This story shows that it is better to have a hundred legs that obey you, than a hundred heads to give orders.
