A Baby Dragon
By
Dennis Luchesi
Of all the things I did, this is one of them that takes the cake. While in
Nutwood I went to Pong Ping's house with Rupert. Once inside the dog showed us
something, it was, "A baby dragon", I said.
"Yes", said Rupert.
"And I would like for you to take care it for me, for awhile", Pong Ping says.
"What me?", I said.
"Yes you".
"Pong Ping, are you sure?".
"Yes, I'm asking you, please", said Pong Ping.
"Okay", I said, "I'll watch the dragon".
"Thank you", he said.
"Your welcome", I said.
Rupert laughed and said, "Chow likes you".
"Chow", I yell, "Oh no".
The dragon laughs as I chase him into the mess hall, if he was seen that would
be it. The baby dragon laughs as he hid under a table.
"Come on out, please boy".
"Dennis, what are you doing?", asked Cliff.
"I crawl out and said, "Just looking for something", I said.
"What", he asked.
"Nothing", I said.
"Well", says Cliff, "It's a big nothing if your looking for it".
Chow burps and spits fire out, Cliff smiles, "So lets see what this nothing is".
Cliff no", I said.
Cliff goes under and takes Chow out, the little blue dragon smiles, oh boy I
said.
"What's this a dragon", Cliff exclaimed, "A dragon".
"Yes, I got it from Pong Ping".
"Ah I see", he said.
"I guess I'll take Chow to Commander Hawkins".
"Good idea", said Cliff.
Later after I finished telling Commander Hawkins about Chow, he laughed.
"Pong Ping asked me to watch him, and I did".
"Until he got away, and Cliff found him under a table", a smiling Commander
Hawkins said.
"Yes", I said.
"There was no harm done, but please take care of him until he has to go back to
Nutwood".
"I will", I said.
Chow was very popular with everyone, a baby dragon and the girls loved him to
death.
"Does he have to go back?', asked Jeff.
"Yes Jeff", I said, 'He must go back to Nutwood, Pong Ping must take him back to
China".
"We could drop the dragon off in
China for Pong Ping", said Rocky.
"It's okay", I said.
"Beside we are busy", said Lisa as he held Chow.
Ginger said, "Chow is so cute".
The next day I returned to Nutwood with Chow. When asked how he was, i said he
was good. Chow went back to
China and if Pong Ping wants me to babysit a dragon again, I would. It
was fun. Chow did like me, just as Rupert said. Until next time.
The End.
