Part 1: The disliked dragon

Once upon a time there was a dragon that lived in the sea next to a little village.

But, the villagers didn't like the dragon, and they tried to get of him on numerous occasions. The dragon didn't want to leave because the sea was his home. The villagers thought differently about this matter  and they knew that the dragon wouldn't listen. 

Part 2: The cunning dragon

The villagers got all their ships and went hunting for the dragon. The dragon, however, knew that the villagers were coming after him. The villagers decided to lay several traps for him.

The first trap was a whirpool. It  was enormous, with thunder clouds surrounding it.  So if the whirlpool didn’t kill him, the thunder clouds would.  The second trap was an enormous net, so that when the dragon got trapped, each villager would stamp a sword in his neck. The third trap was the most mortal trap.  They would throw fake fishes full of poison, so when the dragon ate  these fish he would fall asleep and when he woke up he would start bleeding from every part of his body and he would die.

That night the villagers prepared all the traps for the dragon. The next morning the dragon went to the sea. Meanwhile a villager saw the dragon going to the sea and he told the other villagers what he had seen. Then the dragon faced the big, big whirlpool. But the dragon dodged it  because he saw the villagers. The villagers who followed him were trapped in their own tramp. The dragon started going out of the water and in an instant he was trapped by an enormous net.  The villagers thought they had captured the dragon; but they didn’t know that the dragon had gigantic paws that could cut diamonds.  So the dragon easily escaped from the net.  Then the villagers tried the last and most mortal tramp of the three, they threw fake fishes full of poison.  The dragon almost ate the fishes but as he saw a bigger fish that was not fake he ate it. As he was very hungry he almost ate the fake fishes but as he had a very sensible smell he smelled the poison at the instant.

Part 3: the angry dragon

The dragon became furious and started attacking the villagers by surrounding them and not giving them anything to eat for three days. On the fourth day the villager that was on the boat decided  to get something to eat. Therefore,  they would have to eat the fake fishes that they had thrown into the water.  After 25 men had died because of the fake fish, an enormous storm started, so they took advantage and returned to earth.  But the boat sank and the villagers that were on earth thought that they wouldn't see them again.  But when the whole city was in church for the funeral of the other villagers, the missing villagers appeared.  Then they told the villagers who had not been attacked that they didn’t have to attack the dragon again, and to protect themselves, they made a peace treaty.

So, from that day on the villagers were not attacked by the dragon, and the dragon protected them from new invaders. THE END
