My Friend the Dragon
Once upon a time, a huge dragon lived on an island in the blue sea. When he was swimming in the sea, all the fish hid away from him.
Sometimes the dragon came ashore near a fishing village. He liked to sit on the rocks there.
Every time people saw the dragon, they ran away in fear. For them, he looked very big and scary.
The dragon got used to being alone, but once on the shore he saw a girl. The girl was surprised to see everyone else flee from him.
“Where are they running?” she asked.
“For cover,” said the dragon. “They are afraid of me.”
“Oh, are they,” the girl said. “Are you that evil?”
“No, I’m kind,” he said, “But people prefer to keep away from dragons. That is why I have no friends. I feel so lonely.”
“Well,” said the girl, “If you’re a kind dragon, I can be your friend.”
From then on, they would often walk along the shore and throw colorful pebbles into the water.
One day they saw a fishing boat sinking in the sea. The people on the boat were shouting out for help.
“Our neighbors are in trouble!” cried the girl. “Dear dragon, please, help them!”
The dragon dived into the sea and brought the boat back to the shore on his big back. The rescued fishermen thanked him warmly for his help.
From that day forward, people were no longer afraid of the dragon.
