Very colourful Jen! Maybe it's a corral full of captured dragons. The village children loved the tiniest dragons to be sure! In time the baby dragons got quite used to the seeing the children as they passed by the corral with their moms on the way to school. "Come along children," the moms would say, "you mustn't go near the dragons. Fire breathing dragons are very dangerous! " The dragons all looked so sad in that corral, they'd even lost their sparkle. One afternoon a very curious boy called Henry, snuck out of the school yard at recess and crept over to the dragon corral. Carefully placing one foot in front of the other, he tip toed up to the baby dragons. Suddenly a papa dragon gave a loud snort, and Henry almost lost his nerve. Then one tiny dragon came right up to the corral's rock wall and smiled at Henry. Feeling very nervous, Henry reached into his pocket, pulled out a large package of bubble gum, which had always been his favourite treat, and popped a piece into his mouth. Chewing the gum until it was soft, Henry blew a big pink bubble! The baby dragon laughed, well it was a snuffled chortle, and pranced around in a circle. Now more and more baby dragons, and even a few really big ones, began trotting over to the rock fence. Harry got an idea... Later that afternoon the moms and their children, once again made their way past the dragon filled corral. Henry smiled to himself as he popped a fresh piece of bubble gum into his mouth and blew a great big bubble. Suddenly the children began laughing and pointing. What they saw was a corral full of sparkling dragons prancing around blowing gigantic pink bubbles! Before you knew it, the children were climbing the stone fence and patting the bubble-blowing fire-breathing dragons! Soon the village people came out to see what had caused all the commotion. "It was Henry," the chldren shouted. "Henry tamed the dragons!" So the stone fence was removed and the fire-breathing dragons were set free to live, laugh and chortle among the happy village folk. Peace in the valley at last. Yes Jen, they look kind of like bubble-blowing fire-breathing dragons!
It looks like one horse is following the other, Jen. Hey Barbara, you should write a children's book story. Or better yet, you and Jen could team up to write a very interesting book together. I think you two will have a blast while doing it! And I will buy and promote it to my friends. What do you think, Jen?
I second Rita's idea. Great stories with interpretive pictures. Amazing idea! I bow to your story telling abilities Barbara and to your drawing Jen. Personally I saw a winged Unicorn. But thats just me.
