Show Transcript

hi boys and girls I am going to read chapter 3 from Kenny and the Dragon follow along with me chapter 3 Graham take the cracker can you left his bicycle at the foot of Shepherds Hill near Parrish Creek where he waves to old pops possum it was at his usual fishing spot from the very beginning hiking to the summit on foot weight of his makeshift armor made progress difficult as he worked his way past the Oak and maple trees scattered about on the grass covered Hillside this help a large Anthony area had been on his family's property as long as he could remember he's collected butterflies and wildfires wildflowers here last summer read The Wind in the Willows under the large willow tree at the top last fall and had sled races down this side on the garbage can lid he now held as a shield it was his prized Snow Saucer and it had this great and dense to prove it perhaps the dragon would take these marks along with the blackened pots and pans to be victorious Badges of previously slain Drake's that would be respectful of the little perhaps the Beast would even be a little scared can you made it to the grassy Top by sunset from here he could see the little lamp lights of round Brook liquor rain along the horizon is a West billowy clouds changed and Hugh from gold to a fiery orange then turn red before cooling off into a lovely shade of lavender at Kenny what is he could see the North Star Polaris twinkling low in the sky directly below curled up and sleeping on the far side of the hill was the Dragon is animal was bigger than the illustrations and much bigger Mesmerize Kenny slowly approached the monster happy to be downwind of it on the off chance that it could smell him an attack he was halfway across the hilltop because it was growling and a long low just like a lion a giant reptilian blood Elion Kenny froze hoping it would stop and go back to sleep but the Beast never moved and he soon realized it wasn't growling at all it was hurry the book didn't mention anything about purring he whisper to himself he pulled the bestiary out of his book bag and study the picture once again image depicted a dragon that was slithery scale and very fierce-looking Kenny's and looked up at the specimen in front of him it was a bit rounder and hairier and scruffier than what was drawn in the bestiary Kenny breath and strained against the Gathering dark to see every little detail of the magnificent Monster dozing in the Twilight he didn't dare make any noise even though he was dying to light his Lantern for a better View after a while the rhythmic purring started to make him feel relaxed he listened while it's large ribs expanded and contracted each breath you close the book and put it into his Satchel this movement the great Beast cracked open one large lemon Yellow by Kenny froze now I keep the creatures had rows up from the crown and focus on the small rabbit studying him then the dragon did a sort of a fake stretch and a pretend settled back down of course you know this move very well it's the I am pretending to fall asleep but I am really wide awake move and is best used on parents check on you and your bed at night the dragon close his eyes gave out a stye then said in a low Gravely voice no throwing rocks at me or poking me with a stick yelling at me cuz I won't tolerate it and don't waste your time pouring water on me to douse my fire that doesn't work at all I just got comfy on a nice cool spot of grass here and I'm trying to sleep so leave your food and off you go the Dragons Were trailed off and he began fake sleeping again making a purse sort of snoring sound nothing still nothing he had to try another tactic we're all dragons this unresponsive no wonder they were practically extinct Dan saline aren't you here with an offering a meal and Libby live Des libation perhaps even by my entryway and then you'd best Curry home it's getting late I didn't bring you anything Kenny stammered no food the dragon said not moving a single scale then why on Earth have you brought those pots and pans surely you were planning on cooking me a delicious dinner he eyed the garbage can lid field serving it on that large metal platter not only had his book not men dragons perine and haven't mentioned bringing gifts either clearly the author did not take his subject seriously or else he hadn't done his research thoroughly can he said his broom Lance on the ground well I do have a bestiary bestiary and that I've been reading but now I'm not so sure of its accuracy bestiary really the dragon's eyes open wide and quickly set up he rubbed his scaly pause together come on and let's have a look extended his hand and was nearly as big as Kenny was and ended n long sickle-shaped Clause the young rabbit pulled the book The Old book out of his so he grabbed the ribbon bookmark and open the book to the page titled dragons please don't burn it I'm borrowing it from a friend of mine Burnet what sort of Enchancia firedrake do you take take me for why I just assumed burn my own tail is burn a book he looked at the title and the cover the king's Royal bestiary let's see what it says the dragon stretch dad has long curly tail and reached it into an opening hidden in the shadows of the rocks and boulders on the hillside from there he pulled out a pair of metal frame spectacles and set them on the furry Bridge of his nose to the lad they were the size of dinner plates can you remove the pot from his head and slowly sat down on it he didn't want to make any quick movements but he was ready to encase the Beast show Denis signs of aggression wouldn't you just know it a book arrives and there's an eerie the light to read it in do you mind minding your Lantern okay Kenny said sure as he lived Lantern fireflies begin slitting about the top of the hill they quietly blinks around the monsters giant head revealing a jagged toothy grin as he studied two pages giving his best performance as a relaxed visit can you stop back down on his pot and plug the stalk of grass casually chewing it here how long are you here for her to stay the dragon muttered flipping through the pages even snorted rubbish well written but the facts are not at all right how do you mean Kenny asked what's here it says a dragon strength is found within its long and dangerous tail tying the tail in a knot will render the fat Southeast harmless you warned I'll drinks kill anything they catch with their vicious coils not true do you little bands clean kill everything you encounter wino Kenny replied he was wishing that the pot was on his head after all and he ripped his garbage can lid seal tightly exactly set the dragon but I could easily say that the general populace pretty much destroyed everything come in contact with they certainly do when encountering a fellow like me and I am not killing you at this moment am I getting thought about this for a bit but it's some sort of trick his heart was fast and he was ready to take off leaving everything behind his parents of course would be quite upset at him for abandoning the cooking pot and Lantern up on the hill certainly George would be cross as well and Kenny didn't the allowance to replace the bestiary he was borrowing he looks at the dragon you're not killing me at this moment no nor do I intend to the truth of the matter is I've never killed a thing in my the dragon said as he closed the book and I'd Kenny that was the fashion many years ago with the other dragons they were so Ernest you know burning down castles fighting Knights and the dyes and princesses that was never my cup of tea I am or what you call a Renaissance fellow I like to see the world and savor it not destroy it so instead of burning down a castle I would admire its architecture instead of fighting a night I challenged him to a good game of chess and I'd never eat a princess instead I create a Wonder flower arrangement for her to match the silk drapes in her Palace of course really can he said this Dragon was certainly not at all what he'd expected not a Sports Court a devil or even a nuisance well said the dragon with a stye that was how I got by Live and Let Live which was all fine and dandy until I got trapped can you set down his garbage can lid gold and Lucinda fine hand tied to his chest the one it took me completely by surprise you see I was snoozing under a tree very much like this Willow right here when the ground literally opened up and swallowed me Fisher Kenny said you must have been you must have been in an earthquake wow you stood up on top of his paw. How did you survive I drink lava and 8th Firestone switch allow me breathe fire for the first time ever of course they also gave me horrendous heartburn which I still have to this day but that doesn't matter because the lava and Firestone saved my life they did sure that they're under the Earth and well actually I caught up on my beauty sleep first so I slept there until I slept there under the Earth for years and years they kept dreaming of life up here but glorious sunsets the whispering trees the birds singing Gailey daffodils the dragon rose to his full height causing the swarm of fireflies to swirling dance around as the Drake looked up Kenny followed his gaze the sky which was so bright from the Milky Way that he could not tell where the fireflies ended in the Stars began the dragon took in a deep breath then he looks set down at Kenny and so I finally awoke with my fiery breath I blasted and burned a tunnel back up to the surface to see it all again I mean how could I missed all of this that's when I arrived here what a tale can you said what do you plan on doing now that you're here not much enjoy some fresh country air eat a good meal catch up on my reading and write some poetry actually I consider myself quite a poet would you like to hear some poems I tried to recite a bit to an older chap who was up here earlier today but he scurried off even after all the years I suppose I can still have that effect on someone that was my dad can he said you scared him good scared him goodness was I rhyme that bad the dragon.
