There was a beautiful city by a lake, surrounded by rocks, trees, and a sparkling waterfall. The city was buzzing with excitement because it was time for the spring fair! Everyone was invited, including fairies, pixies, dwarves, and elves with pointy ears. They all danced and had a great time.
Suddenly, a huge red dragon, as long as a snake, appeared. The crowd panicked and shouted, “Run! Dragons breathe fire!” But the dragon didn’t attack. Instead, he turned around and left quietly. Beatrice, a kind and curious pixie, was puzzled. She believed in getting to know others before judging them.
Beatrice knew that dwarves were often misunderstood, even though they were smart and clever. She thought, “If people can be wrong about dwarves, maybe they’re wrong about dragons too.” Determined to find the dragon, Beatrice left the fair and ventured into the woods.
After searching, Beatrice found the dragon trapped in a cage. “I’ll help you get out, and you can come to the fair with me,” she said. The dragon felt lonely because everyone was scared of him. Beatrice used a branch to free him.
Just then, they saw smoke rising in the distance—a fire was spreading! The dragon, despite being feared, flew to the lake and brought back water. Instead of fire, he blew bubbles that put out the flames, saving the city!
Everyone at the fair cheered for the dragon, grateful for his help. Beatrice learned that not all dragons are the same and that it’s important to know someone before making judgments. The fair continued with music and fun, and the dragon even played the saxophone, making everyone smile.
This story teaches us that everyone is unique and deserves a chance. It’s easy to judge based on what others say, but like Beatrice, we should try to understand others better.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely city on the shores of a lake. Its houses were nestled among the rocks and trees, surrounded by a waterfall. That day, they were celebrating the spring fair, and all of the woodland creatures were invited—fairies, pixies, dwarves, and elves with pointy ears. They all danced and enjoyed the festivities when suddenly, an enormous red dragon, long as a snake, arrived.
Panic spread through the crowd. “He’s going to attack us! Run for your lives! Dragons breathe fire!” But before the dragon could speak, he turned slowly and left. Beatrice, a young and sweet-tempered pixie, couldn’t believe her eyes. She was upset because she liked to get to know others before forming opinions based on what she heard.
Dwarves, known for their intelligence and cleverness, were often misunderstood. Beatrice defended the dragon, saying, “Everyone in the kingdom is invited to the spring fair. You can’t judge him without knowing him.” She thought if the stereotypes about dwarves weren’t true, perhaps the same applied to dragons.
Determined to find the dragon, Beatrice left the fair and searched the woods. Eventually, she discovered the dragon trapped in a cage. “I’m going to help you get out of here, and then you’ll come with me to the fair,” she said. The dragon expressed his loneliness, explaining that everyone ran away from him.
Using a branch, Beatrice freed the dragon. Suddenly, they noticed smoke in the distance—there was a fire! The dragon, despite being feared, flew to the lake to fetch water. When he returned, he blew bubbles instead of fire, which surprisingly extinguished the flames.
Everyone at the fair cheered and thanked the dragon for saving their home. Beatrice realized that not all dragons are the same and that it’s important to get to know someone before making judgments. The fair continued with music and fun, and the dragon played the saxophone, delighting the children.
This story teaches us that everyone is different and deserves a chance. It’s easy to judge based on hearsay, but like Beatrice, we should strive to understand others better.
