The Dragon's Cave

Once upon a time, there was a dragon living on the outskirts of a little village where many people lived ,as well. However, where the dragon lived, the village was deserted. Sand dunes, rocky mountains, and dangerous slopes were the only thing that could be seen. The dragon decided to walk. And walk. And walk. And walk until he finally reached the village. Two children were striding along when one asked:''We could've gone back home if we hadn't passed the Land of Dangers.''An' we could've-'' Suddenly, there was a whirling noise. It was the dragon. ''I don't think he's going to pass here,'' continued the second one, ''for we have already passed the Land of Dangers just to explore until we were dead on our feet!'' And so he didn't pass by.

The dragon walked and walked, mile by mile, right through the village, and by the next hour he was in the Mountains of Tuktunga, far away from the two children. ''Wh-where am I?'' he stammered. He decided to walk some more. So again he walked, mile by mile, until-''STOP!'' thundered a booming voice.''Stop!''''No-one shall pass through here.

And so the dragon went back to his cave, but everything was not safe. Volcanoes erupted from the east to the west, wildfires spread across everywhere, and earthquakes shattered the city of Tuktunga. The dragon was far away, but the little village was desperate for water and now the children were almost four miles away.In the city of Tunga dragons were building huge caves at the top of mountains and hills.Tunga became poorer and poorer as the dragons built new caves. Tunga was now desperate for wood. The children walked through the sand dunes, kilometre by kilometre, mile by mile, and by now they were exhausted. Whirling winds were blowing strong gusts. And now they went on and on...
