Puff was a dragon that lived by the sea.

He usually would stay in the caves all day.

One day a little boy became lost on his way.

It begin to rain and thunder and lightning came.

The boy ran and hid in the cave where puffed stayed.

The boy very afraid upon seeing puff.

Slowly started to back away.

Puff often very lonely asked the boy to stay.

Puff told the boy he stayed hidden away because people wanted to kill him, they feared he would catch their village on fire.

Puff being a peaceful dragon only desired friends.

The boy seeing the rain had gone away promised he would return the next day.

The next day the young boy grabbed two apples and hurried on his way.

He entered the cave that was the dragons lair.

The boy and puff played and talked all day.

It came the time to once again say goodbye.

The boy called "see you again soon" and walked back to his village by the light of the moon.

The next day the boy fell very ill and was told to stay in bed.

He lay quietly with a ice pack on his head.

Puff waited and waited.

When the boy never arrived puff decided to fly over the village.

Perhaps he would spot they boy from the sky.

The villagers not knowing why the dragon was there.

Started screaming, running, to and fro.

They used arrows caught on fire to shoot him from the sky.

The boy hearing frantic cries, glanced out the widow, and saw puff dodging arrows in the sky.

He ran outside yelling for them to stop, but they didn't heed his cries.

They were determine only for puff the dragon to die.

The boy ran calling puff to follow him out of town.

Chilled from the damp ground on his bare feet.

He ran to the cave and he and puff stayed hidden away.

The next day the boy was ever more ill.

Puff could not wake the boy.

He had to find a way to tell the villagers, so he put the boy on his back, and he returned to the village town.

He laid the boys limp body on the ground.

The villagers frightened and thinking he had killed the boy.

Held their bows and flaming arrows.

Puff backed away, not wanting to leave his friend.

He decided he had to stay and explain.

The villages ran to the boy but found he was dead.

They blamed puff and "yelled you will pay for this."

Puff having no other choice, tried to fly away.

The villagers shot him time after time with the flaming arrows.

They didn't realize puff had been the boys friend and was tame.

They only pointed fingers and blame.

Puff was shot down that day.

He to died, no one mourned his death or even cried.

The sad day, both puff and the village boy died.
