So all dragons like treasure right? p.23 'they guard their plunder as long as they live' What would dragons do with treasure? Do they spend it? Or simply show it off? Or since p.23 'they can't make a thing for themselves, not even mend a loose scale ofarmour' do they use the items. I guess Smaug uses his as a bed...If they ever died of old-age couldn't the people he stole it from get it back?
