Read together
Once upon a time, there was a dragon named Scorch who lived in a hot, fiery kingdom. He loved to play with fire and would often sear and singe anything that he could get his claws on. But one day, while playing with his torch, Scorch set the entire kingdom ablaze. The fire smoldered and sweltered, leaving the land to toast. To make up for his mistake, Scorch worked tirelessly to put out the fire and restore the kingdom to its former glory. From then on, Scorch learned to be careful with fire and use it wisely.
