The King, the Dragon,
and the Knight

by Tavin Longridge

Once upon a time, there lived

a very wealthy king called King

Kong.

Nearby, in a cave, at the bot-
tom of a mountain, there lived a
big mean dragon, That dragon
was always eating people. So
one day, the local king sent away
for a knight to come to slay the
dragon. Not too- many days
passed, before a very~ brave
knight, named Slingshot, came
to fight the dragon.

Slingshot | immediately pro-

ceeded to go to the dragon's’

cave. As he walked in.a little

ways, he found the dragon lying |
"on the floor asleep. Slingshot,

who was rather competitive,
waited and waited, until finally
the. dragon awoke. - When the
dragon saw the knight, he blew a
stream of fire in the direction of
the knight. .The knight ducked,

and then he tried to plunge his

sharp sword into the dragon’s
chest, but he missed. The
dragon, who retaliated, spewed
some hot flames in the direction

of the knight. But he missed as __

well. Next the knight threw a
lance at the dragon, and it went
right into the dragon’s heart. By
this time,: the dragon was so
furious, that he almost lit his
finger on fire as he ‘spewed out
some hot flames.

A few minutes later, the
‘knight ‘snuck up. behind the
and he proceeded to

his battle axe. With a few blows.
Of the knight’s battle axe, the
dragon’s head came finally tum-
bling to the ground. By now, the —

knight was exhausted. But he
still had enough strength to col-

‘lect his reward for killing the

dragon.

ugliest people in the village.
Everybody was scared of them,

_except for Gorrila, who was the

most powetful person in the
country. When Goar and Thoar
heard of his.might,.they. decided
that they were going.to destroy
him. And so they searched far
and wide. Finally, they found

‘him. For he had entered the

Main Event in a nearby town.

Goar and Thoar signed up im-.

mediately for the fight which

was to take place on Friday.
The day came sooner then ex-

pected. Nevertheless, they were

ready to enter the ring with the

giant. The bell rang and the fight
was on. Only two minutes into

the fight the giant gave them

such a beating that he almost
wasted them, Lucky for Goar
and Thoar, Thoar was able to
land a.knuckle punch at the
giant’s rib cage, which sent him
to the canvas. Immediately the
two terrors pinned him to the
floor and: the match was over.
The crowd cheered wildly. -

_ After receiving such a beating
by two mere boys, the giant felt
embarassed and moved away.
The boys’ in turn, were named

My Monster

by Tim Norman
‘One day, when I was about 6
years old, a huge spaceship land-
ed in the bushes behind my
house. I proceeded to investigate
what the spaceship looked like.

_But when. I got about 20 feet
‘away from the spaceship, a very
big door opened, and a big:

monster walked out. of the
spaceship and looked around.
He looked at my house and then

he looked in the window of my ©
_mom’s shop. My mom looked at

the monster for a couple of sec-
onds and then, she fainted. I
woke her up with a bucket of

cold water. Then I took my

dad’s axe and J was going to kill
the monster, but the. monster
just didn’t want to fight me.

In view of this, I put the axe
back, but I kept a pellet gun
handy just in case. Finally, I
asked him what he was doing
here. He said that he was look-
ing for a friend. ‘‘I will be your
friend,’’ Ianswered.

Next, I proceeded to find him
a home. After a long search I
finally located a home for him in
the woods, Needless to say, we
saw each other quite often after
that, -
