Year 3 Learning
The Dragon Saver Miles Baylis, Year 3
One day in a faraway land, there lived a boy and hewas taking a stroll into the deep, emerald green forest. He had no intention in the world. He was poor and lived in a desolate, abandoned cottage with a river meandering around it gracefully. The boy’s name was Tom, his mother never had enough food, so he was often sent away to search for some. As Tom was about to pounce, like a tiger on a cow, he heard a voice, “Hey, watch where your mammoth sized feet are going!” Tom was so surprised, “What?” he said sounding perplexed. “You almost stepped on me!” Tom looked up but could not see anything, so he looked down… and saw a NANO- DRAGON! It was absolutely minute. “I am very powerful you know!” At this time the Nano- dragonblewout apathetic littlefireball. “OUCH!” shoutedTomat the topof hisvoice, it made the trees rattle like coins in a rucksack. “May you please take me home?” asked the Nano-dragon pleadingly. “Ok, I will see what my moody mother says.” The next day, Tomwas in dismay. His mother had bellowed that there was no way he could bring a dragon home. He returned to see his dragon friend after his stern talking to. When he got there, he heard a howl so piercing it could rip someone’s ears off! He ran frantically to find his dragon rolling about on the floor squealing. Tomwas devastated “Are you alright?” he asked hurriedly. “Well, not exactly, I was just walking along when a giant beetle came and said slyly ‘Hello young dragon, come with me!’ I refused so he bit me!” Tom asked if he needed medicine, which he did. So, Tom ran as fast as a cheetah which had boosters on its back home. It was dark so hismother was sleeping as peacefully as a cat in a lap of a polar bear (because polar bears are as soft as silk). Anyway, he got the medicine and rushed back to the forest. He found his dragon and gave him the cure, which immediately made him30 times bigger! “Woah!” exclaimed Tom. Thenext thinghe knew, hewas ridingon theback of his amazingnewdragon! “This is fantastic!” he screamed as they soared high above the clouds and when they came down, they found themselves in a cave underground. Tom looked around, there were baby dragons everywhere. “Be introduced to my family,” the dragon said proudly. “This is going to be SO much fun!!!” said Tom with glee. So this is where the legend ends and they all lived sillily ever after.
