Short Story


The story "Dragon, Dragon" is about a dragon who is terrorizing a kingdom.The king had told all of his kingdom to come to help him stop the dragon. The king had then said who ever had killed the dragon will marry the princess and will become king. People from the kingdom said that why didn't the wizard said a spell to stop it. Others said that why didn't the knights stop it. The king said that the wizard had lost his spell book and was losing his memory. The king also said that he told his knights lots of times but they don't want to go, and he can't force them. The wizard was thinking of the spell he said that it went something like- Bimble, Wimble, Cha, Cha CHOOMPF! Suddenly the queen turned into a rosebush. The wizard had done the wrong spell, then the three sons of a cobbler came. The first son had said that he was going to fight the dragon. He told his father if he had any advice. The cobbler said that when he was in the dragon lair to say the poem- Dragon, Dragon, how do you do? I've come from the king to murder you. The older son didn't recite the poem so the dragon had ate him. The second son had then went, first he had told his father for advice. His father told him the same advice he had told the older son, to recite the poem. The middle son didn't said the poem, so the dragon also ate him. It was the youngest son turn to go and fight. Again he went to ask for his father for some advice and again he said to recite the poem. The youngest son went to the dragon's lair a said the poem- Dragon, Dragon, how do you do? I've come from the king to murder you. The dragon had started to laugh- He, he, he, ho, ha!!! Then he question- You? You? Murder Me??? Once he started to laugh the youngest son got mad, he got his sword and killed him. He then saved his older brothers, and he also saw treasures. Healso saw the wizard's book of spells. When he went back to the kingdom eveyone was happy. The wizard then made the rosebush (queen) to a queen. The younger son then married the princess and became king.

The story "Dragon, Dragon" expresses that even though some people are older than you they might have a great advice. Alsoit expresses that even though you are the youngest son, doen't mean that since you are the smallest you can't do noting (like in the story the youngest son killed the dragon.) The story also expresses that always listen to older people's advice, who know things better than you.
