Ardern rejects girl’s ‘dragon research’ bribe

Wellington, May 14 

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has rejected a “bribe” from an 11-year-old girl who wrote asking the government to conduct dragon research, her office confirmed on Tuesday.

The girl, identified as Victoria, wanted to be given telekinetic powers so she could become a dragon trainer, the BBC reported.

She included NZ$5 ($3.20) with her letter, apparently as a bribe. Writing back on official letterhead, Ardern said: “We were very interested to hear your suggestions about psychics and dragons, but unfortunately we are not currently doing any work in either of these areas. — IANS
