The Dragon's Tale by Elizabeth Haley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4 An old German Folktale en-us 2017-11-19 22:10:49 UTC 2024-05-03 09:07:20 UTC hello@padlet.com One morning, Mother decided I could go on an adventure. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536458 I finally convinced my mother to let me go down to The Dragon’s Gorge. I had been begging her for a long time to let me to go. After all, many 8 year old boys go on adventures. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536458 My very best friends came along with me. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536666 I was the commanding officer. At my side came Wolf, Werner, and the coward Adolf. There were other boys at first, but they did not take our quest seriously and gave up after only a little while. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536666 We stopped for lunch. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536739 We stopped for lunch but when the boys would not listen to me and threw their orange peels into the river instead of tucking them away as mother would have wanted, they became ill with me and left us to fight the beast on our own. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536739 The passage way to The Dragon’s Gorge is thin and hard to fit through. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536776 You can’t walk side by side, you have to walk in a single line. We ventured down the rocky path and]]> 2017-11-19 22:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536776 Suddenly, this huge, thick, round and slimy worm shaped thing slugged across the path. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536829 I shouted, sure that it was the dragon’s tale. The boys came up round me, peering over my shoulders but they couldn’t see it. I reached out to grab it but it was too slimy and slipped away. We chased it, hurriedly, down the pathway. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536829 Once we came into The Dragon’s Gorge, we could see all the true beauty of the place. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536948 Its a truly marvelous place, separated from civilization by thick forests. You come upon it very suddenly, you are walking along and stumble right into this magical place with humongous rocks that are piled together like cliffs. They tower clear up to the sky and there is only a tiny path between then. The moss hung off the trees and the sun shone through the trees. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208536948 All the sudden, we looked up and there, just in front of us was the biggest, most amazing dragon I had ever seen. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537087 He huffed and smoke blew everywhere. He was magnificent, the most spectacular thing I could imagine. He was candy apple red, his scales gleamed in the sun. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537087 With a fearless whoop, I led the charge as we climbed up onto the back of the beast and rode him just like a horse. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537139 He leapt off the ground and began to fly in circles and we held on for dear life. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537139 After a while, he landed and coughed and huffed some more smoke. I raised my voice and my pop gun and I told him “Stop that, will you, or we shall have to slay you after all, that's what we came out for you know!” ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537231 The dragon shuddered in fear of me. I laughed at him, thrilled at how impactful I was on him. He turned pale. 

]]> 2017-11-19 22:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537231 The dragon turned his great head at me. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537289 I swallowed a lump so large in my throat that I was sure I’d die and I took a great breath, trying to be sure he didn’t see my fear. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537289 He asked me about Adolfo, who had fled long ago. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537315 “Where’s the other boy? If you give him to me for dinner, I will spare you.” I shuddered. It hadn’t occurred to me that he meant to eat us. I laughed at him, doing my best to be brave, and told him Adolfo had run away and wasn’t anywhere to be seen.]]> 2017-11-19 22:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537315 We crowed at him and told him to give us another ride. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537503 He protested and eventually took off into the sky. He flew so fast and high that we were quite scared. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537503 Suddenly, he had us in his deep cave. ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537545 The sunlight was only in a few small cracks, too narrow to crawl through. The dragon began to huff and smoke filled the cavern ]]> 2017-11-19 22:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537545 Realizing that the dragon was more afraid than we were even, I turned to him and offered a bargain ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537585 I told him that since he gave us such a time, riding around on his back, that we would be his friends and not tell a soul that he was there, since he was so afraid of humans coming to kill him. As a symbol of our truce I offered him a banana which turned out to be quite a mistake as it only seemed to make him more hungry. ]]> 2017-11-19 22:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537585 His bloodthirsty eyes frightened us ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537644 2017-11-19 22:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537644 and at just that moment, we found the passageway out of the cavern ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537689 2017-11-19 22:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208537689 Later that night, I told mother how proud of myself I was for vanquishing a real life dragon.

ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208541989 I turned to the boys and told them; “Don't you tell me that that is only water, a little brook can't make such a row as that— that's the dragon.” The boys and I chuckled, nervously, as we made our way ahead. ]]> 2017-11-19 23:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208541989 Title Screen ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208542178 2017-11-19 23:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208542178 [Music changes] ElizabethHaley https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208542836 2017-11-19 23:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ElizabethHaley/5zx9k8z8vyo4/wish/208542836 “He looked so sweet and juicy and tender," said the dragon woefully, "I never get a child for dinner nowadays!” he cried like a baby.
