The Birthday Party With The Dragon

Written By: Omorinsola Akanbi

Once upon a time, a girl named Jane was having her birthday party. She was turning 7 years old. Jane lived in Loisa town, a big community in Abaka City. She invited lots of special guests, her best friends, classmates and also her class teacher, Miss May. They all had a delicious creamy cake.

But that same day, a dragon was sleeping in his cave. The dragon heard lots of noise coming from a house. The dragon flew with his wings to the house where the sound was coming from. Jane saw the dragon named Bill flying towards her house very angry. She warned the people that Bill, the dragon, was coming to the house. Everybody was shocked! Quickly, they hid somewhere safe in Jane’s house, in the basement.

Finally, the dragon arrived in Jane’s house. Jane was left with no choice, but to stall the dragon so it won’t find anyone. The dragon looked very scary. It had a funny nose, old looking wrinkled mouth, thin legs and gigantic feet. It also had tiny wings and enormous arms with a big tummy full of cakes. Jane was not frightened at all

She shouted, “Stay away from my house!”

“Never!” replied the dragon.

“I hate birthday parties, but I must have all your cakes now.” growled the dragon.

Jane and the dragon, Bill, had to fight each after Jane sprinkled pepper into the dragon eyes. The dragon tried breathing fire but she put water in his mouth.

The dragon became very scared of Jane. He flew back to his cave.

Jane had won! Everybody cheered Jane.
