Dragon Solstice Story part 1

[seaivy]

Alphonse Dragon knocked on the door of old Pete Dragon.
Pete was Granny’s old friend.
A bit of a hermit but
he had become a friend to Alphonse,
Marvin, Ursula Bear and Cecily Woodchuck
since that special dinner Granny had made.

They stood waiting,
Cecily carrying the basket of goodies
Granny made to give to Pete.

“Well, look who’s here.”
Pete smiled as he opened the door.
Alphonse pushed Cecily forward.
“Granny sent some things
she said you would tell us the Holiday Dragon story.”

“Sure, come on in.”
Pete opened the door wide.
“I just made a pot of coffee.
I’ll put some coco on too. “

"You never heard the Holiday Story?”
They shook their heads.
“Don’t know what the world is comin’ to”
Pete mumbled as he set about with pots and mugs.
He emptied the basket on to the table
“Gertie out did herself.
Cookies and apple cake too. “

The four sat around Pete’s old pot bellied stove.
Pete pulled up the table and set the mugs on it.
“You do know about Santa Claus I suppose ,”
he said pouring himself a cup of coffee
settling in his old tattered armchair.
They told him that yes, they knew about Santa
but Granny said there was a Dragon story.
