A long time ago, near a village called duxbury vt there lived a dragon. He was the color of midnight. He was huge and covered in sharp, pointy scales. The fire he breathed could light up the night sky.
He lived in a nest high above the village in an old, dead tree.

Sure, the dragon breathed fire. But there were people with worse breath. And sure, the Dragon looked scary. But there were tigers in the village how come nobody was afraid of them?

Then she climbed off the dragon then Emily's friend came to help "finaly" said Emily the dragon’s breaths quickened. Huff! Huff! Huff! It looked like the dragon’s fire was about to blow! Emily braced herself. But instead of fire coming out his mouth, tears began pouring down the dragon’s snout.
“I’m so lonely. Nobody likes me,” the dragon said.

“Why should anyone like you?” Emily replied. “You burned down the castle.”
“I didn’t burn down the castle,” the dragon said. “It was struck by lightning. I would never do that.”
“Wow,” Emily said. “Sounds like you’re the victim of a smear campaign. We’ve got to fix this. What are you good at?”
“Breathing fire,” replied the dragon.
“Well, let’s see it,” ordered Emily.
