Question
In the kingdom of Aqua Fire, I am a dragon unlike any the royal subjects have ever seen. Most dragons simply breathe fire, but I possess the power to do many other magical things. The Head Dragon has warned me not to take advantage of these powers, though, because I could become weak if I do.
But it is very tempting to use my unique powers, and sometimes I cannot resist. Last week, Prince Jeffrey was complaining about his dinner that the chef had prepared. He said it looked like slop and tasted like garbage. But in fact the dinner was a delicious dish of roast beef, gravy, potatoes, and green beans. Ungrateful Prince Jeffrey said the dinner was slop, so I turned it into slop! With one breath from my mouth, the dinner looked worse than yesterday’s oatmeal. I loved seeing the disgusted and furious expression on Prince Jeffrey’s face.
After that incident, the Head Dragon appeared in my path looking very angry and betrayed. His skin was redder than fire and his eyes matched with the color of fury.
“Have I not warned you about abusing your powers, Little Dragon? Now, I command you to only use your special powers for good. If you try to do harm with your powers, nothing will happen. Your powers will be useless!” The Head Dragon’s voice burned with flames.
“But Prince Jeffrey deserved what I did to him.”
“That is not for you to decide,” the Head Dragon seethed before disappearing inside a red cloud.
I crawled back toward the servant quarters of the castle, hoping to pass the time talking to the peasants. They hated the prince too and would surely feel sorry for me now. But there was no time for conversation. Through the kitchen window, I saw a fire burning and smoke filling the air. I darted inside the kitchen where the chef and maid were throwing cups of water on the flames.
This was my opportunity to do something good with my special powers, so I opened my mouth wide and breathed with all my might. Out came a stream of water powerful enough to put out the whole fire. The cook and maid clapped their hands and patted my back. It felt wonderful to do a good deed—so much better than I had imagined. Outside the kitchen window, the Head Dragon smiled at me before disappearing into a cool mist.
