A dragon and knight

A dragon and knight live on an island. This island has seven poisoned wells, numbered 1 to 7. If you drink from a well, you can only save yourself by drinking from a higher numbered well. Well 7 is located at the top of a high mountain, so only the dragon can reach it.

One day they decide that the island isn't big enough for the two of them, and they have a duel. Each of them brings a glass of water to the duel, they exchange glasses, and drink. After the duel, the knight lives and the dragon dies.

Why did the knight live? Why did the dragon die?

The knight lives because he drinks water from well no.1 so that the dragon wud give him water from well 7. So instead of dying, he gets saved by drinking water from higher numbered well.

The dragon dies because the knight gives him water from the sea instead of the poisoned wells, then the dragin tries to save itself by drinking water from the well no. 7, which kills it.
