The Silly Dragon Games
Large text for little eyes.
Every five years, the kingdom’s youngest dragon riders gathered for the biggest event of all,the Silly Dragon Games!
Instead of scary battles, these games were full of the goofiest challenges ever imagined. Dragons wore flower crowns, riders wore mismatched socks, and the grand prize wasn’t gold or jewels, it was a giant pancake shaped like a dragon!
Milo, a cheerful boy with a very clumsy dragon named Toothie, had been waiting his whole life to join. “Don’t worry, Toothie,” Milo whispered, “We’ll just try our best not to set anything on fire… again.”
The Backward Flying Race
The first contest was the famous Backward Flying Race. Dragons had to zoom across the sky, but only while flying backward!
The crowd roared with laughter as dragons wobbled, spun, and bumped into clouds. Toothie, of course, flew upside down by mistake and sneezed out tiny smoke rings.
“Keep going!” Milo cheered, holding on tight as Toothie zipped past a startled flock of geese. The geese honked angrily, but the audience laughed so hard they nearly fell off their seats.
The Bubble-Burping Contest
Next came the Bubble-Burping Contest. Dragons had to drink fizzy lemonade and burp out the biggest bubble.
Some dragons managed small little pops, others made huge wobbly bubbles that floated above the arena.
When it was Toothie’s turn, he slurped three whole barrels of lemonade, puffed his cheeks, and—BURRRP!—out came a bubble so gigantic it carried Milo straight up into the sky!
“Uh-oh!” Milo squeaked as he floated above the crowd. Luckily, the bubble popped gently, landing him in a haystack. Everyone clapped and cheered, naming it “the funniest burp in history.”
The Pancake-Flipping Finals
The last event was the Pancake-Flipping Finals. Each dragon had to toss a pancake high into the air and catch it again.
Dragons all around flipped pancakes into the clouds. Some pancakes stuck to the castle tower. One even landed on the king’s crown!
Toothie tossed his pancake so high it disappeared for a moment. Everyone gasped; where had it gone? Then, with a fump, the pancake landed perfectly on Milo’s head, syrup and all.
The judges laughed until their bellies hurt. “Milo and Toothie may not be the fastest or neatest,” they said, “but they’re definitely the funniest!”
And so, Milo and Toothie didn’t win the golden medal, but they won something even better—the Golden Pancake of Giggles, awarded to the silliest team in the kingdom.
The End !
