Your task

Make up words that would sound right to replace the adjectives and adverbs (in bold italics) in the following text (you can replace two words with one word):

One gloriously sunny day in the powerful and successful kingdom of Sarvare, Sir Dizzibell mounted his strong and reliable horse ready to go bravely in search of the fearsome and murdering dogswipe dragon.

Dogswipe dragons were extremely rare and hard to find but recent reports had implied that one such dragon had been eating villagers sneakily and without anyone noticing. The reason people believed that it was the dogswipe dragon was because the bones of the poor and unfortunate victims were always found in a neat, little and organized pile. This was typical of the fussy and tidy dogswipe dragon.

The problem with Sir Dizzibell, however, was that he was more brave and fearless than clever and able to do things. This meant that after five hours of quick and urgent riding across the pretty countryside, he found himself back in his home town by which time the 7 O’clock news was reporting how the dragon had been slain by a weak and feeble old woman who was out walking her dog. Sir Dizzibell went home and had a nice and comforting cup of tea.
