The Boy And The Dragon
There once was a dragon who lived far
away in a big cave near the sea. If
anyone came too close to the cave, the
dragon would scare them away with glee.
The dragon blew fire with a mighty
force, all ran from the dragon afraid,
of course. The dragon was happy by the
sea so blue, friendly too, but no one
knew. One day a young boy walking
through, passed by the cave to fix his
shoe. All of a sudden he heard a sound,
the dragons fire was all around. The
young boy saw the dragon in rage, he
ran for the rocks not far from the cave.
The dragon looked at the boy and smiled,
for the dragon knew he was only a child.
The boy looked up at the dragon and said,
please don't blow your fire at me. Let's
be friends, you and me, so we both can
enjoy the beautiful blue sea.
