BR 1-11: The Reluctant Dragon

I read "The Reluctant Dragon". Main character is the Dragon. The picture is cute! I'm going to tell you about the story now.
One evening, long ago, a shepherd ran home, terrified. "I saw something terrible," he cried to his wife and son. "It has sharp claws...a long, pointy tail...and shiny blue scaled all over its body." His son looked up from his book. "That sounds like a dragon," he said. The boy wasn't scared. The next day, he set off up the hill to find the dragon. The dragon was friendly and he was thrilled to see the boy. The boy smiled. He sat down and asked the dragon all kinds of question. The dragon told stories of long, long ago. There were dangerous dragons everywhere. And brave knights fought them to rescue princesses. The boy came back every day to hear the stories. But then the villagers found out about the dragon. They were terrified. That afternoon, the boy heard even worse news. "Saint George the Dragon Killer wants to fight you", gasped the boy. "I don't like fighting" said the dragon. But everyone wants a fight. So he took George to meet the dragon and fought. The next morning, lots of villager arrived to watch the fight. Everyone gasped as the dragon appeared. His scales sparkled and he breathed out fire. "Charge!" cried gorge. He galloped hard, his spear held high. The dragon slumped to the ground. George towered over him. But it was operation to villagers. So the boy was happy because his plan worked. The villagers were happy because they’d seen a fight. And they set off up the hill arm in arm the saint, the dragon and the boy.
This picture is very cute. I don't like fight too. So I hope that everyone lives in friendship.
