TWIGMAN MEETS A DRAGON

ONE DAY WHEN TWIGMAN WAS WALKING TO HIS JOB IN THE FOREST HE MET AN ANIMAL HE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. HE HAD HEARD MANY STORIES ABOUT DRAGONS AND THOUGHT THIS ANIMAL MIGHT BE A DRAGON. HE ASKED, "ARE YOU A DRAGON?" THE ANIMAL REPLIED, "YES I AM A DRAGON, A FIRE BREATHING DRAGON."

TWIGMAN KNEW THAT FIRE WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE FOREST. A FOREST FIRE WOULD DESTROY ALL THE BEAUTIFUL TREES AND HE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE A JOB TO EARN MONEY TO FEED HIS FAMILY. HE QUICKLY GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SPRAYED THE FOAM INTO THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON.

THE FIRE BREATHING DRAGON WAS VERY UNHAPPY. NOW HE WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO CATCH HIS FOOD. HE WOULD STARVE. THE DRAGON BEGAN TO CRY AND SAID TO TWIGMAN, "WHAT WILL I DO NOW? YOU HAVE MADE ME HARMLESS." TWIGMAN SAID, "HAVE NO FEAR. DRY UP YOUR TEARS AND I WILL TAKE YOU TO MY HOME AND YOU CAN BE A PET FOR MY CHILDREN."

TWIGMAN PUT A COLLAR AROUND THE NECK OF THE DRAGON AND LED HIM TO HIS HOME WHERE THE TWIG CHILDREN WERE DELIGHTED TO BE THE ONLY FAMILY IN THE WORLD TO HAVE A DRAGON FOR A PET.
