Sparks Will Fly!

One sunny cloudy day, a little emerald green, scaly dragon called Sparks, was sitting on a big, fluffy, white cloud, day dreaming.

Suddenly a beautiful colourful butterfly fluttered really close to the dragons nose and made him sneeze! ATCHOOOO!!! But as he sneezed he let out a little flame and accidentally burnt his cloud! The cloud became so smoky that Sparks could not stay.

So he picked up his special bottle of flames (that went everywhere with him) and set off, flying through the sky, to find a new home.

Sparks had been flying over huge green trees and many, many houses when he wanted a rest.

He landed in a beautiful garden, put down his special bottle of flames, and looked around. It was not like his fluffy cloud and this made him feel sad, so he began to sob letting out small clouds of steam.

In the garden was a little girl, called Poppy,who spied the steam and took her pet cat, Daisy, to investigate.

“Hello! Who are you and where did you come from ?” Poppy asked trying not to be scared.

“My name is Sparks. I have come from my home that burnt” he replied with a sniff and another large puff of steam. “I am looking for another home.”

“Don’t be sad” said Poppy “Do you want to live in my back garden?”

Sparks looked round again, it was’t like his cloud but he would like to play with Poppy and her cat.

“Can I?” Asked Sparks “Lets play then.”

The little dragon went off to play with Poppy and her cat. They had lots of fun playing all afternoon.

Meanwhile, Sparks’ little bottle of flames slowly and silently began to tumble and roll down the hill towards the garden gate and the rockery full of sharp hard grey rocks!

Suddenly there was a CRASH and a tinkle sound ... then the sound of flames burning the wooden gate! The flames grew bigger and bigger, until they were leaping into the air and flickering back and forth.

Poppy’s cat suddenly stopped playing and sniffed the air.

“Meowwwoowww!” she said. Poppy looked at her and said, “What’s the matter?”

“Meooowmeoow!” replied the cat and ran towards the smoky flames.

Before the cat reached the gate, that was now glowing with amber and orange flames, Sparks and Poppy saw the fire rising into the sky.

“Oh no!” exclaimed Poppy.

“Where’s my little bottle of flames?” said Sparks ...”Oh no ... I know where it is ...!!!”

Poppy’s mum called the fire station. “Can you come to our house, as we have a fire in our garden that won’t go out!”

Three fire engines came very quickly with their loud sirens and blue and red. lights flashing.

The firemen jumped out of the fire engine and ran to the fire with their hoses.

Whoosh went the water and soon all the flames disappeared.

They found the smashed bottle, but sparks’ special flame had been put out.

This made sparks sad.

While poppy told the firemen all about sparks, his burnt home and that he was looking for a new home, Poppy’s mum made the firemen a cup of tea and some biscuits to say say thank you.

After hearing Sparks’ sad story one of the firemen went to the fire engine and found a new bottle for Sparks, in it he put some different coloured gems and a lot of love which all sparkled and flickered just like sparks’ special flames.

The the fireman gave sparks his new bottle and it was at that moment that Sparks realised he liked playing with poppy and her cat, and he loved his sparkling new bottle, so he decided to stay.
