“I’ve never seen a dragon,” said my father. “Did you see him? How big is he?”
“Oh, yes, indeed I saw the dragon. In fact, we became great friends,” said the cat. “I used to hide in the bushes and talk to him when nobody was around. He’s not a very big dragon, about the size of a large black bear, although I imagine he’s grown quite a bit since I left. He’s got a long tail and yellow and blue stripes. His horn and eyes and the bottoms of his feet are bright red, and he has gold-colored wings.”
“Oh, how wonderful!” said my father. “What did the animals do with him when his wing got well?”
