A<br />

dragon<br />

Doug was a young dragon and he was really big; bigger than his<br />

brothers, bigger than all the dragons at his school and even bigger<br />

than his dad. He was stronger than the others too, and he was the<br />

fastest runner and had the loudest roar.<br />

Life should have been good for Doug, but he had a problem. Everyone<br />

made fun of him because he was frightened of fire! This would have<br />

been a problem for any dragon, but for a huge fire-breathing dragon,<br />

it was a disaster. Doug couldn’t even breathe out a little bit of fire, so he<br />

ran away to the mountains to hide.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, one day, Doug met Charlie and his life changed forever. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

became friends and spent the summer in the mountains playing<br />

the best games and having the most fun ever. But then the weather<br />

changed and on some days it was too cold for Charlie to play. <strong>The</strong>n it<br />

snowed.<br />

Charlie didn’t come to play and after a few weeks Doug went looking<br />

for him. He found Charlie and his family huddled in their tiny cottage.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were so poor they had only enough money for food and none for<br />

fuel to cook it or to heat their home. <strong>The</strong>y were all so cold and so sad<br />

and they looked so sick that Doug was really worried.<br />

Without thinking, he opened his mouth, gave a loud roar and sent a<br />

warming circle of fire into the cold air. In no time the cottage was warm<br />

and cosy. <strong>The</strong>n everything changed. <strong>The</strong> family used the fire to cook<br />

food and to make hot drinks. <strong>The</strong>y were all warm and happy.<br />

Doug wasn’t frightened any more. Now, thanks to his friend, he really<br />

was a fire-breathing dragon at last!<br />
