The Dragon in the Doghouse – A Magical Story About a Puppy Who Grows Wings and Learns to Fly
Large text for little eyes.
Once upon a sunny morning, a girl named Ella woke up to something very odd. Her puppy, Nibbles, wasn’t barking or begging for breakfast like usual.
Instead, she found him in his doghouse… glowing.
“Nibbles?” she whispered.
He turned to look at her, and she gasped. Two tiny sparkling wings had sprouted from his back!
Ella blinked. “You’re... not just a puppy anymore!” Nibbles wagged his tail, flapped his new wings, and let out a soft puff of smoke from his nose.
That’s when Ella realized the truth: her puppy was turning into a baby dragon.
Discovering Dragon Secrets
Ella rushed inside to research everything she could about dragons. She read that some dragon eggs are disguised as puppies to protect them from danger, and when the time is right, the magic inside them wakes up.
“But why Nibbles?” she wondered aloud.
As Nibbles grew small horns and his fur turned to soft blue scales, he snuggled up beside her. He was still her best friend, just a little more magical now.
Ella kept his secret safe, hiding his wings with a hoodie and pretending the smoke from his nose was just “steamy breath” on cold days.
Trouble in the Backyard
One day, while playing fetch, Nibbles flapped his wings and soared into the air!
“No, Nibbles! Come back!” Ella cried. But it was too late. He crashed into the neighbour’s flower pots, setting off a cloud of sparks and smoke.
Their grumpy neighbor, Mr. Peabody, marched over, waving his garden rake. “That’s no ordinary dog!” he shouted.
Ella knew she had to protect Nibbles before someone tried to take him away. She raced to the doghouse and whispered, “We have to find Dragon Hollow, the place from the stories where magical creatures are safe.”
Finding a Home for Magic
With Nibbles riding in her bike basket, Ella followed the clues from her book: glowing mushrooms, warm winds in the air, and the sound of humming trees.
They reached a hidden forest glade, where fireflies danced in circles and the trees bent like they were bowing.
Suddenly, a giant golden dragon appeared, its eyes kind. “You’ve brought him home,” it said. “He’s one of us now.”
Ella hugged Nibbles tightly. “Will I ever see you again?” The golden dragon smiled. “When you believe in magic, the door is never closed.” Nibbles licked her one last time and soared into the sky with the others.
Back home, Ella placed Nibbles’ collar on her windowsill and waited every night, watching the stars, knowing that somewhere, her little dragon was flying free.
The End !
