[Amused by his incredulity and interest, she chuckles.]
I suppose you do have a point. Well, first of all I should probably explain who I'm talking about. My assistant, Spike, is a dragon, who I hatched from an egg as my examination into the school I went to. I named my Dragonite after him, as I'm sure you could guess.
Now, he's still quite a young dragon, and so is usually at a very manageable two feet tall or so. However, when dragons reach puberty, they begin to grow at a disturbingly rapid rate... spurred on by their greed, which also begins to grow.
On Spike's first birthday in Ponyville, he was so astounded to receive gifts from ponies besides me that it awakened those greedy instincts, and, well... things got out of hand pretty quickly. It started small enough, with him begging extra presents out of a few ponies in town, but soon enough he was so wrapped up in getting more things that he was running around stealing from people, and growing larger and larger the more he stole. Eventually, he grew so large that there was no way any of us could deal with him. If it weren't for Rarity, I don't know what would have happened.
