Surprising

While I was walking home, I saw my front door open. I looked everywhere to see if anyone was home. There was no one at home, so it might be that my brother forgot to close the door before he went to school. I went to my room, and there I found a dragon on my bed! I tried to touch it, but it flew up on top of a bookshelf that I could not reach. Then, the dragon sneezed while wind from outside came in a gust. The fire blew to my sock drawer, and my socks were on fire. I had to dump the socks that were on fire into a bucket of water.

Bed time: I had to make a bed for the dragon to sleep in. So I thought that the dragon could sleep in a square bucket full of water in case it set anything on fire. Inside the bucket, besides water, were books that I didn’t read anymore and some socks that had gotten on fire for the sheets, pillow, and blanket.

Morning: The planning worked! The dragon didn’t set anything on fire. I had to tell my dad that there was a dragon because while I was in school, it could set things on fire, so my dad had to work from home.

Home: I asked my dad, was the dragon good? He said the dragon did not set anything on fire. So now my dad could leave the dragon at home by itself.
