Tom and the Dragon Retell

“Can I please go for a play by the Pier?” asked Tom. “Sure, but I have warned you, there is a Dragon in the cave so never, ever go near.” “His teeth are as sharp as a shark’s sharp fin and when you go in, he will ask for a game of Chess but never, ever say yes, because when If you beat him he will barbecue you. Or perhaps he will win, and he will ask you to fight him with a sword but never, ever say I will.” “You will ask is it true that you can make bread in one blow and he will bake bread and have some tea with you. He will say I’ll be gone do you want to come on my back and sore high? But never, ever climb on, because when you are high up in the sky he will say open your eyes and have a look around but never open your eyes.” Replied his mother.

Tom went down to the Pier with his head filled with fears and with his mother’s words still in his head. When he got to the Pier he saw the dragon crying. “AH! It’s the boy who destroys! Mama told me to stay away and no noise” The Dragon cried. Tom just stood and stared. Once the two had talked about how the other one wasn’t scary at all they became best friends and soon their mothers were saying nervous hellos.
