Percy the Dragon, An Old & Modern Fairy Tale

Percy was a dragon with thick green scales, and long pointed claws instead of toenails. Strength in his wings to fly over the land, and fire in his belly to leave his brand. Good knights would ride out in shining armor, to slay the dragon hurting the farmer. Percy, breathing fire, would call their weak bluff, and ask: "Why not go an bother cousin Puff?" "I'm really a good dragon", sniffed Percy, "If you ride off now I'll show you mercy." Still, they kept on coming and wouldn't quit, and he'd blast fire and singe them a bit. He wasn't magic, which wasn't the norm, so he stayed alone in his dragon dorm. The knights quit coming which left him in tears, so he went to sleep for a thousand years. Puff woke him up with a knock at he door, his friend had left him alone in the moor. Puff joined Percy and sat at the table, just sat and talked, they didn't have cable. "Let's take a vacation, fly together. How 'bout Hawaii, they've got good weather?" Off they went to Mauna Loa to stay, and there you can see their fire to this day.
