BR 2-08: Danny The Dragon

This is a story about a dragon, some villagers, a salesman and a gang of robbers. Danny the dragon lived in some woods, besides a tiny village. Some dragons are scary, but Danny was friendly. Everyone in the village liked Danny. The villagers greet Danny. Danny also greets the villages.

Each night, he visited every villager. He lit their fires. HE cooked their food. He lit their candles as it grew dark. The villagers appreciated him. Then he went home, feeling happy.

One day, a stranger came to the village. The stranger sold Mr. Marvo’s magic fire sticks. The villagers had never seen magic fire sticks before. They can light fires when you are cold. They can cook food when you are hungry. Then they can light candles when it gets dark. The villagers were amazed. They bought all the magic fire sticks on the wagon.
That night, Danny visited the villagers as usual. Everyone did not need a dragon any more. He walked into the woods and tried not to cry.

At that moment, a gang of robbers was passing the village. The robbers stormed into the village. They pushed the3 villagers away from their fires. They snatched away their food. And they carried away their candles. In the woods, Danny heard the cries of the villagers. He ran out of the wood and into the village. He set their beards on fire and toasted their feet. And he burned their bottoms. The robbers ran off and were never seen again. The villagers appreciated his sprint. The thankful villagers gave Danny his job back.
