An 11-year-old girl received a letter from New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardirn, rejecting a request for a "bribe".
The Sky News reported that the student, known only as Victoria, had shown great personal interest in the dragon and asked the government to allocate funding for the search for the mythical creature.
Her brother, on the social networking site Reddit, wrote that Victoria wanted the government to support her so she could train the dragons if she found them.
The girl made this request to the Prime Minister via a letter, accompanied by NZ $ 5.
Jacinda Ardenne responded to Victoria's message, saying she thanked her for contacting the government.
"We were very interested in your proposal about the dragons, but unfortunately we do not do anything about the dragon," said the 37-year-old prime minister.
So, said Jacinda Ardirn, she will return "financial bribery" to the girl.
