My Dragon

One day as I was walk­ing I passed a secret cave carved in a moun­tain face, so I decided to go in. Inside the cave I heard a roar. I got a lit­tle scared but I kept going. Now I could see some­thing red. I wanted to run back but I was too far now. I heard a snore so I didn’t know what to do. I reached my hands out and felt a scale. The thing woke up and growled. It was a dragon! It said “Don’t be afraid, I’m nice.” I said, “Can you be my pet?” “Yes,” said the dragon.

Sto­ries should be sim­ple. They should have just what they need. They should help you under­stand. They should sur­ren­der to sym­bol. They should be what they are. We should accept them.
