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. Another strange thing about the big black hill was that it moved up and down, almost as if it were breathing. “I don’t know how this strange hill got here,” Chestnut said to herself. “But I’ll just climb over it.” Chestnut clambered up the big black hill.

What He Tells Me

“Your life is sad and miserable.”

That’s what you say

When I spend all morning working

And feel tired the rest of the day.


“You should be rich by now.”

That’s what you say

When I check my wallet

And think about the bills I need to pay.


“Everyone’s bleeding you dry.”

That’s what you say

When I give to those in need

Whilst trying to save money to move away.


“Why do you even bother?”

That’s what you ask

When I think about my life

And wonder if everything’s a vain task.


“Don’t worry. Seek God’s kingdom 

And His righteousness first.”

That’s what Jesus tells me

Whenever I expect the worst.


“Seek first God’s kingdom

And all your needs will be added to you.”

That’s what Jesus tells me

And I know what He says is true.


“He is always faithful.”

That’s what I say

When God reminds me

How He provides for me day by day.


Choosing which voice to listen to

Is a daily struggle for me.

But I will heed my Savior,

I will seek God’s kingdom and not worry.
