The Egg

This is a story I wrote at school...

It all started one bright summer morning in July.  School had just ended and my birthday was coming up.  I thought I was going to have a nice quiet day.  Boy was I wrong.  I was sitting on the front porch licking a nice cold strawberry popsicle when I saw an enormous rock. "That wasn't there before," I thought.  So I went over to check it out.  But as I got closer, I was strange lightening bolt marks on the rock.. That was no rock.  That was a massive egg!  And when I say massive, I mean Massive.  It was the size of a bulldozer   What What could be inside?  A giant bird, king kong, maybe even an elephant   As i was thinking, a few cracks appeared on the egg.  Then ore cracks appeared and more and more.  Until finally it split in half.  A huge bolt of lightening  burst from the egg.  Ka boom!  I was blasted backwards.  When I looked up, I was amazed.  There, right in front of me was a huge dragon!

I twas the size of a whale.   "Hello," I said nervously.  It made a cooing sound in the back of it's throat.  "It's a baby," I said surprised.  "I wonder how big it is fully grown?"

"Jacob," my Mom called, "time for your piano lesson."

"I will be back soon," I said and then I rushed inside.

That night strange noises woke me up.  I looked up sleepily then there was a flash of light out side.  I slipped into my slippers and tiptoed down stairs   When I got outside the dragon ran up to me and said, "we have to get out of here," in a deep gravely voice.

"How did you grow so fast?"

"That's not important right now," he said, "we have to get out of here."  So I hopped on his back and we soared away.

"What was that about?"  I asked.

"The evil wizard is after my magic," said the dragon, "by the way, my name is Storm Breaker.  Let's go to my cloud.  We will be safe there.

At his lightening cloud we dried to think of ways to defeat the wizard.  Then I saw a yellow crystal glowing in the moonlight.  "What does that do?" I asked.

"It transports people," Storm Breaker said.

"I have it!"  I yelled.  "We could trick the Wizard into touching he crystal!"

So we set up a big trap and waited for the Wizard to arrive.  When he got there he was surprised to see a big roller coaster.  "I think I"ll go on a ride before I defeat the dragon."  So he got in thecard and before he could ist down the roller coaster took off with amazing speed.  The Wizard screamed like a little girl as he went around twists and turns.  Finally it stopped.  The Wizard was about to get out when the crystal fell into his cart.

"Noooooooooooo!" He screamed, as he vanished in a flash of yellow light.

"Good bye,"  I told my friend an hour later.  "I hope I will see you soon.  Brake some storms for me."  And with one last wave he breathed on me and everything went black.

Th next day I woke up in my bed wondering if it was all just a dream when I felt something in my hand.  I looked down and sitting on my palm was a shiny scale.  A dragon scale.
