The Squirrel and the Dragon: A Fantasy Short Story

Once upon a time, in a little cottage atop a tall tree in a little forest, there lived a little squirrel named Chestnut. Every morning, Chestnut loved to take her little basket and go on nature walks to collect little colorful flowers in the meadows. She would make bouquets and flower wreaths and sell them at the market square. But one day, when Chestnut went on a walk to collect more flowers, she found a big black hill blocking her way. The big black hill was very strange, because instead of being covered with green grass, it was covered in black scales that shimmered in the sunlight.

The Dog in the Park


There’s a dog who wanders the park;

I came across him one day.

He wagged his tail and jumped about.

He really wanted to play.


I didn’t have a bouncy ball

Or a stick to throw.

All I had was a blue bobby pin

And my pretty red bow.


I wasn’t going to throw those things

So, in that case,

I found a rock and threw it

And the dog gladly gave chase.


He picked up the rock,

Then tripped as he ran back to me.

But the rock wasn’t in his mouth.

“Where on earth could it be?”


I looked around for the rock.

Maybe it fell into a hole?

When I didn’t find the rock, I knew

The poor thing had swallowed it whole.
