Once upon a time there lived a dragon whose name
was Komodo.He can breathe fire. And all the people who lived
nearby were afraid of him. Whenever they heard him coming they ran away and hid. They could always hear him because Komodo had six feet, and wore three pairs of shoes at a t i m e and every shoe creaked. So wherever Komodo went the people were
sure to know. One day he meet a big girl who isn’t a bit afraid of him.
“Why are you so kind?” she said. “Why do you breathe fire when you see anyone coming?”
“Well,” said Komodo, “ mmm I don’t know”
I never really thought about it. Shall I stop being kind?”
“Yes, please,” said the big girl, whose name was Susie. “All right,” said Komodo, “ I’ll try.”
They say good-bye to each other, and Susie go home. By then it is beginning to get light and Susie found that everyone is in an good state , because the lamplighter, whose name was Charlie, h ad n ’t lit any of the street lamps. He was still in bed. He had stayed o u t so late after lighting the la m p s the night before that he was still energetic.
So he is just staying in bed and having a terrible sleep. And eating bread and butter under the bedclothes. The Mayor, whose name was William, was calm. What was to be done about the lamps? Then Susie had an idea. She runing all the way to Komodo’s cave and taking him to the town and then all round the streets, and he breathed fire on each lamp and lit it.
How the people cheered! They were not afraid of the dragon any more. They could see he was a mad beast.
And after that Komodo is coming and liting the lamps every year
when Charlie is going on his holiday.
