How the Wrens helped Flame the dragon

A long time ago there lived a dragon called Flame. Flame was different to all the other dragons because he was born without any colour on his body. His scales were missing too.

Flame was soon looking more like the other dragons he lived with. He was beginning to feel much better!



Flame felt marvellous and magical!


 
Flame is so pleased with all the help that the Wrens have given him. He has decided to stay in our classroom and help us for a while!
