Amelie Smyth’s short story: Dragon Story


Once upon a time, there was a town called Rivven and there was a boy called Thomas.

His Dad said dragons ‘don’t exist,’ but Thomas did not believe that.

So he set off to find a dragon. He travelled over deserts and mountains. He did not find a dragon but he found a dragon egg.

Is it really a dragon egg? asked Thomas. Then it started to crack and a baby dragon came out.

Thomas did not know what to do. The dragon wolfed up the cookies. Then Thomas had the perfect name. Snaffle!

I’ll call you Snaffle.
