Can you name this book featuring a dragon?
when i was in grade school i can remember reading this book about a boy who stumbles upon a cave with a dragon in it. the dragon asks him if he will choose to have power, riches, or wisdom. the boy picks wisdom, but he mentions that he did so partly because he knew that was the "right" answer. he then goes back to meet the dragon frequently, and the dragon teaches him lessons, and sometimes gives him a present such as a jewel. [SPOILER ALERT: i'm going to have to give out some details about the ending to help narrow this down] in the end, we find out that it was a fake, mechanical dragon being operated by an old man. the old man tells him that he was helping prepare the boy for some journey or adventure. I read this book back in the mid 90's, so it has to have been published around that time or before. (i.e. it's NOT Eragon)
