A Dragon's Tale

Rally around the campfire in the dark of a summer night. Tell some interesting old stories and cook by a campfire light. Skewer some slender juicy hotdogs maybe puffy marshmallows too. Make them crisp and really gooey to last until the blaze is through. ************************* Once knew a dragon with a tale of a sweet damsel in distress. Caged dragon fell madly in love so knitted a sleek wedding dress. Damsel said, “I cannot marry a love sick dragon in a cage. For I am just a mere sixteen and you are more than middle age.” The dragon looked rather perplexed didn’t know what to say or do. He stomped, roared, and snorted fire “I want to wed your mother, not you”! The damsel looked extremely shocked to say the least, she was outraged. Her mother has not said a word on being in love or engaged. The girl turned bright red from anger that he was not thinking of her. She was jealous to say the least what she did next caused quite a stir. Girl found key to unlock cage door climbed inside and locked it behind. Mother returned, found teen daughter quite caged and forever confined. Moral: Don’t wish for something that should be yours in the first place, you might end up with it… A way to ward off suitors is to lock your teen daughter up with a dragon… Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S.
