Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a female dragon named Daphne. She loved to feed on sheep and goats but one day she woke up feeling sick with a high fever. She had a fear that something was wrong and it was all her fault.

A few of the other dragons tried to help her, but they didn’t know what was wrong. They suggested that she see the local healer, but Daphne was too afraid to leave her cave. She didn’t want to fight anyone or anything.

One day, a kindhearted fairy came to visit Daphne. The fairy listened to Daphne’s story and comforted her, telling her that nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The fairy also gave Daphne some medicine to help her feel better.

With the help of the fairy and the medicine, Daphne’s fever went down and she started to feel better. She realized that she wasn’t alone and that it was okay to ask for help when she needed it. From then on, Daphne was no longer afraid to leave her cave and she became friends with all of the other dragons in the land.

The end.
