Today I found an egg, I found it under a bush at the playground. I carefully pick it up with both hands, and I take it home. I show my mum what I found, she found a large box, she filled it with rags to keep the egg warm.
Mum put the box in my room, I put the egg carefully in the box. I sit on my bed and wait for the egg to hatch, I wait, and wait, and wait and wait, finally it starts to hatch. I call mum, she sits on my bed with me, together we watch the egg hatch. It takes all day, suddenly green scaly wings appear, that's curious. Then a scaly pointy tail appears, that's strange. Then a scaly head appears, that's weird. Then finally the body appears, what a surprise! It’s a, it’s a, it’s a. It’s a mini dragon!, it fits into the palm of my hands, mum says I can keep it. I make a bed in the box the egg hatched in, I think I’ll call him Dave. Dave is my friend, mum looked up what mini dragons eat. They eat bits of cooked mince, raw vegetables, raw fruit and drink orange juice. Mum cooks a little bit of mince, Dave eats it all up, but he’s still hungry. Mum cuts up a bit of raw vegetables, Dave eats it all up, but he's still hungry. Mum cuts up a bit of fruit, Dave eats it all up and now he’s full. To make all the food go down, mum gives him a cup of orange juice. Dave burbs, fire comes out of his mouth. Dave farts and fire comes from his bottom, I laugh. Then Dave walks around his bed three times, and lays down and goes to sleep. As I go to sleep, I whisper, I have a pet dragon, his name is Dave.
