Spencer and the Dragon

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, there lived a young boy named Spencer in a house on the edge of the Great Forest. And in front of that house was a big field and in that field there lived a dragon. And Spencer and the dragon were friends.

One day Spencer was at home coloring when a knock came at the window. He looked up to see Mr. Crow sitting on the ledge and looking very nervous. Spencer went over to the window and opened it up.

“Good afternoon Mr. Crow: said Spencer. What brings you to my house today?

Mr. Crow took a deep breath and started to talk. “Mr. Spencer” he said, “some careless humans were camping in the Great Forest and allowed a fire to start in the woods. It is starting to burn the trees and the animals of the forest are getting scared. We need your help right away to put the fire out and save our homes.”

Spencer knew what to do. He went to the closet and put on his boots. He put on his coat and put on his hat. He then went outside and walked into the big field and called out “MR DRAGON”.

Spencer waited for a minute. “MR DRAGON” he called again – just a little louder than the first time. Finally Spencer called out in his loudest voice “MR DRAGON!” Suddenly there was movement in the tall grass and Spencer could see the dragon’s tail as it arched up and the dragon took a big stretch. Mr. Dragon stood up and looked at Spencer.

“Good afternoon Spencer” said the dragon. “What brings you to my field today?” Spencer told him the story about Mr. Crow and the animals in the woods and the burning fire. He told Mr. Dragon that only he could help save the animals now.

Mr. Dragon stretched out his neck and lowered it to the ground. Spencer climbed up among the large scales and held on tight and Mr. Dragon stretched his giant wings and slowly started to lift off the ground.

Higher and higher they flew until Mr. Dragon and Spencer soared over the trees and they could see the smoke in the distance.

Mr. Dragon circled around the fire to get a good view. He had a plan and hoped it would work. He told Spencer to hold on tight and then he started to fly lower. Closer and closer the dragon got to the fire. Spencer could already feel the heat and was started to get a little scared himself.

Just before the reached the fire Mr. Dragon suddenly took an enormous breath. Flying low over the trees he started to blow on the fire with all his might. His breath was more powerful than a hurricane and he blew the flames all out and the fire was gone.


All the animals of the woods cheered as Mr. Dragon flew away and headed back to the house. When they landed, Spencer thanked Mr. Dragon for all of his help and told him what a brave dragon he was.

Then Spencer went inside and hung up his coat and hat and put his boots in the closet. Then he went back to his coloring book and started to color a picture of all his animal friends in the forest.

The end.
