I was walking in the woods in my backyard when I found an weirdly perfect oblong rock that was gold with black lines. Cool, I thought to myself. It was surprisingly heavy for being half a foot tall and 4 inches wide.

The next morning, I woke up to find the rock rolling in barely noticeable but steadily smaller and faster circles. Hmm, that's weird, I thought to myself. My mom's voice drifted up to me from downstairs, shaking me out of my thoughts. "Quazar, go get ready for school!" "Fine, if I have to." I answered back. "You do." "I know, unfortunately." The rock had finished it's spiral an was now spinning in dizzyingly fast circles

At school, I couldn't concentrate on anything, not even math, my favorite subject(I personally think that the word math deserves a capital).

In a small, shaky voice he answered "What's wrong is that that is a dragon." "So? What's wrong with that?" "So, dragons supposedly 'don't exist'!" he almost screamed out. "OK, OK, I get your point, but what happened to them?" I asked. "Nothing" he said. "They're a figment of the human imagination." "Ohhhhh." I paused, then said "Soooo, do you know how to take care of it?" "Ummm try giving it the steak you snitched at dinner, and yes, I saw you do that."
