You saw a Dragon?...
Yep
A real-life Dragon…
Yeah
Wings and all?...
Of course
Uhuh…
...
Sat in that back garden there
Well not sat no
Stood then
Yep, stood right next to them flowers
You understand why I’m finding this hard to believe right?
...
Did you, I dunno… take any pictures?
Erm, well, no… didn’t really occur to me to
...Right…
What’s the matter?
Let’s just say it’s not the most likely of occurances
...
You know… Dragon… middle of the day… Sunday…
...
You’d think other people would of noticed that
Well no, you forgettin’ we got a fence?
A fence
Yeah, point of a fence is so people can’t see what we’s doin’
Well yeah but come on… this is a slightly different ballgame
I don’t see what the big deal is
You’re kidding right
...
A fantastical, fairy-tale creature just pops up in your garden, for no apparent reason?
No
What do you mean no?
It had a reason
Really? What was it doing?
Well, it just sorta stood by the pond there, sittin’ pretty still, then it nabbed itself one a my Goldfish and flew itself away
...It… flew away…
Yeah
In the middle of the day…
...Yeeess
And this is the first I’ve heard of it
Whadda ya mean?
No news story. No Police Helicopters. No evidence of any kind?!?
You can count the Goldfish if you like...?
...I’d rather not
I’m telling you: Dragon; my pond; Goldfish missing… it all adds up!
But Dragons are fictional! They’re a mythological creature that, if once real, have clearly all died out.
Well, not my Dragon
Oh really
Aye
Alright then, what did your Dragon look like?
Well, massive it was! Had long legs; vicious looking claws; ginormous wings, must have been a few metres across!
R...really?
Oh aye
Erm, anything else?
Yeah, it were white
White???
Yup, lovely clean white… I could tell it were white ‘cos it were stood next to washing line
I see… sounds unusual for a Dragon
Yeh?...
Well yeah… on account of they’re big flying lizards
...
You know… fire-breathing lizards with wings
Well not this one
............I beg your pardon
This one had feathers
............Feathers
And it’s beak were rate long
....You mean a Heron don’t you
?...
