"All aboard!" said the dragon. "Where shall we go?"

"We'll spend the night on the beach, and tomorrow we'll start on the
long journey home. So, it's off to the shores of Tangerina!" shouted
my father as the dragon soared above the dark jungle and the muddy
river and all the animals bellowing at them and all the crocodiles
licking pink lollipops and grinning wide grins. After all, what did
the crocodiles care about a way to cross the river, and what a fine
feast they were carrying on their backs!

As my father and the dragon passed over the Ocean Rocks they heard a
tiny excited voice scream, "Bum cack! Bum cack! We dreed our nagon! I
mean, we need our dragon!"

But my father and the dragon knew that nothing in the world would ever
make them go back to Wild Island.
