Garrick the Dragon has been practising his roar. He wants it to be as powerful and fierce as his papa’s. Every day, Garrick perches himself to the side of the rocky cliff, and with a big deep breath, he roars down into the canyon. ‘Oh, to be as big as Papa,’ he thinks. One day, little dragon; one day.
