Whoah! A creature zoomed past. It had big wings and a tail. It was green with black dots. It was a dragon!
Jack pinched himself to see if he was dreaming or not – and he was not!
Jack yelled “RUN!”
But the dragon turned and said, “Run from what?”
“You!” screamed Jack.
Then the dragon started to cry. “Everybody thinks I’m going to eat them, when I just want someone to play and with.”
Jack simply said “I’m sorry. You can play with me.”
And so they went to the woods and played I Spy and then went off exploring the forest.
After a while Jack asked the dragon if he knew where he was going and the dragon stopped cold. “I thought you knew where you were going, I followed you” said the dragon.
Jack had an idea. “What if I ride on your back and you fly over the forest so we can find my village and get a good night’s sleep.”
A little later they found Jack’s village and went to sleep.
To this day you still see the two friends together.
The end.
