The Curious Dragon and the Brave Boy

Once, there lived a happy little Dragon in a big dark cave. It was surrounded by different kinds of Dragons, with different colors like green, orange, yellow, pink, blue, purple, and red. There were also different sizes like large, big, medium, and small. The Dragon wanted to be friends with the humans.

The next day, the Dragon asked his parents if he could play with the humans. His father immediately said, “Human beings are scared of us, they think we are dangerous.” His mother added, “human beings sometimes try to kill us.”

In a big village, there was a brave boy called Ricky. There were so many houses, buildings, parks, schools, and many other places. Ricky lived in a small house with his family, his dad, mom, and little sister. Ricky loved Dragons so he went to the Dragon world without telling to his family.

Meanwhile, the Dragon sneaked out of his home and decided to go to the village where all the people live. The Dragon went to the village but unfortunately, people were running away because they thought the Dragon was going to eat them. The Dragon was just saying “Hello’’ but fire came out. He tried saying sorry but more fire came out every time he talked. People decided to shoot arrows and with giant guns.

Meanwhile, Ricky was having fun with the Dragons in the Dragon world because he trained the Dragons. While Ricky was having fun with the Dragons, the upset Dragon decided to go back home. The Dragon reached home and met Ricky. The Dragon tells Ricky the problem he had with the humans.

Ricky said he will help him. He led the Dragons to the village and he convinced the villagers that the Dragons are not here to eat people, they just want to be friends with the people. Now both Dragons and humans had a happy life together.
