Adventure of Justin the Dragon

 

Once upon a time, there was a dragon named Justin.  He lived with a prince named Shaun.  They lived in a palace near the ocean.  Justin was very good at fire breathing.
            One cold winter night while Justin and Shaun were working a bird flew by my window and dropped a letter.  The note said, “Save Alia!”  Shaun warns Justin, “Whatever you do, don’t go to the Haunted Forest.”
            Justin put on his armor suit.  Then he packed a lunch.  Farewell my good friend, Shaun.  It was windy outside.  The ground was solid ice.  Justin felt brave.  After an hour, the weather changed.  As time flew by the clouds turned black.  Justin stopped when he saw two big guards and a big tall gate behind them.  Then he heard a cry coming from a forest.  Justin was curious and he went into the forest to see what was making the noise.
            The moment Justin entered the forest a long beard grabbed him.  Then Justin heard a growl.  Justin looked up and saw a big monster.  He had sharp claws and one gooey eye.  There were two ghosts on each of his sides.  He said he was Didi Mavidi and he was going to eat Justin.
            Thinking quickly, Justin began to breathe fire.  He made a roasted hot dog out of Didi Mavidi and mashed potatoes out of his ghost friends.  Then Justin ran quickly out of the Haunted Forest.
            Finally, Justin was safe.  He went directly to Alie’s castle.  When he got there he warned Alie to watch out for the evil, crazy Zim.  Alie was so grateful she drove him home.  When Justin got home Shaun asked him how the trip was and he said it was good, but he never told him about the Haunted Forest.
