BR 1-12: The Dragon and the Phoenix (Lesley Sims, 2007)


"A shiny pebble lay on the sand"


Once upon a time, a dragon lived beside a magic river, and a phoenix lived deep inside the forest.

One day, they found a shiny pebble lay on the sand. "It's beautiful!" The phoenix said. The dragon washed it, and the phoenix polished it with a feather. The pebble became a pearl. The dragon and the phoenix stayed on the island watching the pearl.

The pearl was so bright, so the Queen of Heaven wanted it. When the dragon and the phoenix slept, she took it. They had a trouble, so they protested the Queen. In the moment they disputed, the pearl fell from the sky.....and it landed on the ground, so it became a shining lake.

The dragon and the phoenix lay beside it. They are still there today!

I thought this story was very romantic. I want to meet the dragon and the phoenix.
