Once upon a time, there was a little dragon called Lily who lived in a big, magical jungle called the ‘Sparkling Forest.’
That forest wasn’t just a forest. It was a magic forest which had magical trees, plants and flowers. Even creatures which had been extinct a long time ago like dinosaurs could be found here.
One day, Lily the dragon decided to find some berries for her breakfast. When she was searching for berries, she found a baby dinosaur which was lost in the forest. Lily decided to pick it up and take care of it.
Lily took care of it as if it was her brother. Lily gave food for it and played with it. They slept together and they walked with each other.
The days passed and the baby dinosaur grew big and strong and it became a Velociraptor.
One day, when Lily came home, her brother wasn’t there. Lily was shocked and she started searching for the little dinosaur, but it wasn’t to be found. Then she started crying. When she was crying, she heard a noise behind a bush.
Behind the bush her brother was trapped in a trap.
It surprised and saddened her to see her brother trapped in a trap. She gently untied the trap and asked her brother,
‘How did this happen’?
Her brother said that when he was at home, a cunning crocodile came and kidnapped him and trapped him.
This made her sad and she hugged him tightly and said,
“Sorry for not looking after my little brother”.
From that day Lily stayed at home looking after her little brother. Even when she went somewhere, she took her little brother.
