Kira and the Very Polite Dragon
A dragon knocks at the castle door. Kira decides to be kind and invite it in for tea.
Knock, knock, KNOCK! Someone was at the castle door. Luca the lion peeped through the window and gasped. ‘A dragon!’ he cried. ‘Everyone hide!’
But Kira was the bravest and kindest in the castle. She walked right up to the door and opened it. There stood Daisy the dragon, holding a tiny bunch of flowers. ‘Hello,’ said Daisy shyly. ‘Is it teatime?’
‘Oh!’ said Kira. ‘It is exactly teatime. Please come in.’ Luca nearly fainted, but Kira led Daisy into the great hall and set the table with honey cakes and hot chocolate.
Oh dear, Daisy was a very big guest! Her tail knocked over a chair. Her sneeze blew out all the candles. But Daisy said sorry every time, and Kira only laughed.
At last, Luca crept in. ‘I thought dragons were scary,’ he said. ‘This one is just lonely,’ said Kira. Luca sat down and took a honey cakes. Soon the three of them were chatting like old friends.
When the stars came out, Daisy stood up. ‘Thank you for the loveliest tea ever,’ she said. ‘Come back anytime,’ said Kira. And every Friday after that, the dragon came to tea.
