💬 A story about friendship, bravery, and looking beyond fear.
🌄 Chapter 1: The Cracked Egg
Lila lived at the edge of a quiet village, near the whispering forest. One misty morning, while collecting wildflowers, she found something strange in a bush—a big, shiny egg with golden cracks running across its shell.
She looked around. No birds. No nests. No footprints.
As she touched it gently, the egg wiggled—and with a soft crack, it hatched.
Out came a tiny, green dragon with big, blinking eyes and glittery wings.
Lila gasped.
The dragon sneezed—a puff of smoke flew out. She laughed. “Don’t worry,” she whispered. “I’ll take care of you.”
🏠 Chapter 2: Secret Friend
Lila named him Ember. She kept him in her barn and fed him berries, milk, and marshmallows. He grew fast. In just two weeks, Ember was the size of a goat—and could fly short distances.
She taught him to stay hidden and play quietly. He chirped like a bird, loved music, and curled around her like a cat when he slept.
But dragons weren’t exactly welcome in her village. Long ago, the village had been attacked by a wild one, and people still told scary stories about them.
So Lila kept Ember a secret.
🔥 Chapter 3: Trouble in the Village
One dry summer day, a fire broke out in the bakery and began to spread.
The villagers screamed. Buckets of water weren’t enough.
The fire leapt to the rooftops—and Lila saw her schoolhouse catch fire.
Without thinking, she ran to her barn.
"Ember, we need your help!" she cried.
Ember looked at her, then nodded.
He soared into the sky and blew a gust of cold wind—icy mist poured from his mouth, freezing the flames. In minutes, the fire was out.
The villagers stared in shock.
🤔 Chapter 4: Fear and Courage
At first, people panicked. “A dragon!” they cried.
But Lila stood tall. “He saved your homes. He’s kind. He’s my friend.”
Slowly, one by one, people thanked Ember. Children clapped. The mayor apologized for judging too quickly.
From that day on, Ember was accepted. He built nests on rooftops, played with kids, and guarded the village from wild animals.
Lila and Ember remained best friends—proof that sometimes, the scariest creatures have the gentlest hearts.
🌟 Moral of the Story:
Don’t judge others by their appearance. Friendship and bravery come in all shapes—even ones with wings and scales.
