Dragon’s Delicious Dinner Excerpt:
In the late afternoon, as the sunlight dipped in the sky, Dragon strolled about the town, enjoying exploring all the interesting things to see. As Dragon walked down the main street, Dragon peeked into one of the shops. Inside were children seated at tables, drawing with colored pencils. Dragon looked up at the sign. “The Art Nook” it read. This must be an art studio, Dragon mused. What a wonderful place. Along one wall, Dragon could see storage shelves filled with paints and paintbrushes and containers of more colored pencils and crayons. The vibrant colors made The Art Nook look cheerful and inspiring.
Next door to The Art Nook, Dragon peered into another shop. This one was filled with potted plants of all kinds and all sorts of interesting pots. A man was standing in front of a display of plants labeled “Jade Plants.” Dragon observed as the man lifted one plant and examined it from a few angles and nodded. Then the man took the plant to the other side of the shop where there was a large display of pots. The man selected a blue glazed pot that had sparkles in the paint. The pot looked like the night sky, twinkling with stars. Finally, the man took the plant and the pot to the counter, where the shopkeeper carefully put the jade plant into the sparkly blue pot. The shopkeeper then tied a sparkly silver ribbon around the pot.
