How Komodo Dragon Got His Scales
Tykeis

One day in China, a Komodo Dragon named Jack was sitting by a pond.

“One, two, three,” he said covering his eyes. “Four, five, six, seven.”

Then Jack turned around looking very closely.

His friend Dave the Monkey was hiding right behind the tree that Jack just passed. Dave tried to sneak over to the rock for base, but he stepped on a twig. Jack whirled around and Dave started running after him. Jack almost caught him. Larry the Goose was already at base, so was Sheila the Kangaroo, and Johnny the Python.

“Ha Ha” said Dave the Monkey. “You didn’t get me.”

“You didn’t get any of us,” they all said.

Buky the rat was the sneakiest of them all. Jack the Dragon was hiding in the water he felt weird. He came out and said he quit and went.

‘Mom?’

‘Yes Jack”

“I feel kind of weird.”

“Well, you should, you have scales,” she replied.

Jack asked, ‘Is that a disease?”

“No you have developed scales. Every lizard gets them when they mature,” his mom told him.

And that’s how Komodo Dragon Jack found out how he got his scales.
