Once there was a little dragon. Her name was Lucy. She went to little dragon elementary school. Lucy lived in a big black castle on the top of the hill. Her dad was *this* tall ; her mom was **this** tall.

One day she told her mom she had a tummy ache. She could not go to school it hurt so much. She went to the doctor; they said, you need to be checked in.

She went to her room in the hospital. There was a sign on the door that said Lucy Housebigger (that was her family’s last name).

There were three dragon nurses that were to take care of her; they had to give her blood tests. The blood tests were to see if she was blazing hot or freezing cold.

After the blood tests, while they were waiting for the results, her mom went to talk to the nurses.

From down the hall, the lady dragons heard, “Buiiiuuuurppppp !!!”

Her mom raced in the room to see what had happened. Lucy the Little dragon said, “I had to burp.”

After the bloodwork was done, the doctor determined that all Lucy needed to do was burp. Which had she had just done.

So. She flew to the school, landed, went into her classroom and said “Sorry I’m late, I had to burp.”

The End.
