Me and my brother went to the park to get our stomp-rocket down out of the tree. My friend Marina blasted it really high into the pine tree. When my dad climbed a ladder to get it, it disappeared from the tree branch. It was inside the tree trunk. It appeared in the tree and it fell in. A door appeared in the tree, and Louie and I went inside. There was a dragon balancing the stomp-rocket on his head. It was dark. He made the stomp-rocket glow. He wanted to use it for a lamp because his lantern totally ran out of batteries. My dad didn’t know where we were. The dragon gave us Halloween candy. He told us to sit on logs inside the tree. He was a nice dragon. He said he would bring the door and give us the stomp-rocket back. We said if he gave it back, we would cut a hole in the tree to let the sunlight in. My dad had a saw, and I told him to cut the window. The dragon said, “Thank you!” We showed my dad the inside of the tree so he could see what he did for the dragon. The dragon said, “Thank you” again! We played with the stomp-rocket again.
