On a farm, far out west near a house, kids like to play under a tree. It’s a special tree because the kids can play and imagine that there are dragons.
They can climb all over, hiding in the tree.
Early one morning when the children came to play, the tree was gone. The farmer had cut it down.
“No dad! No, no, no!”
The kids felt sad. They missed their dragons they imagined were in the tree. They went on a search for a new tree, but they never found any as good as their old tree.
