The Cat and The Dragon 1

The Cat was not happy. It did not like it's sleep being disturbed by a certain nibbling of it's ears. It slowly opened it's sleepy eyes and looked down. Yes, the pouch was open. The dragon had woken up early and had got out.

No sooner than this happened, it spotted a blue mass completely engulfing it's face. The bright yellow tail with blue stripes tickled more than ever. This was the Drachen, the Dragon, also called Draggy by the Dragon's friends. The latter included a Bear, a Zebra, a Mouse and an Eagle. There was also a Black Cat, but we need come to it only later.

Now that the Drachen was awake it would need it's usual Pork Soup for breakfast. This was the absolutely one single food that the Dragon loved, and would eat without complaint. Then it would be time for the Dragon to get dressed and go to school with all the friends.

The Cat let a big "meeow" and stretched itself, put out a huge yawn, and also managed to scratch the Blue Dragon as it tried to scuttle away. The Drachen turned back and hissed out some black smoke on the Cat's face, making the Cat cough. It was the usual bit of Cat-and-Dragon play that would happen every morning.

With the Pork Soup finished, the Drachen was easy to tame. The Cat quickly dressed the Drachen up, in a brand new yellow knickerbockers, and a smarty shirt with a tie. Very soon, there was scratch at the door, and almost simultaneously Zibby the Zebra poked its head in. The Drachen let a squeal of joy, and flew out from the Cat's grasp, and landed on Zibby's head.

As the Drachen and it's friends made their way to School, the Black Cat looked on, and stared angrily. It was not happy.
