The Friendly Dragon Who Feared Fire

A heartwarming story about courage and friendship.

Once upon a time, in a quiet valley surrounded by misty mountains, lived a small green dragon named Ember.

Unlike other dragons, Ember was friendly, gentle, and... terribly afraid of fire!

Every night, when the other dragons practiced breathing flames, Ember hid behind the rocks.

He wished he could join them, but the thought of fire made his heart race.

One sunny morning, Ember met a kind girl named Luna who loved all creatures, big and small.

Luna didn’t laugh at Ember’s fear. Instead, she said,

“Everyone is afraid of something. The brave ones face it slowly.”

With Luna’s help, Ember learned to light a tiny spark — just enough to toast a marshmallow!

The fire didn’t hurt him at all. It was warm, bright, and kind.

From that day on, Ember no longer feared fire.

He realized that courage isn’t about having no fear — it’s about trying, even when you’re scared.

And whenever he breathed a soft flame, he smiled, remembering Luna’s words.
