at the chimney pot. With a terrible tearing sound, the TV aerial was ripped loose and the
chimney pot wobbled. Lassie balanced for a brief second on the very top of the roof. They
heard the eerie unknown call of a dragon wailing in distress as he slid down the roof on
the far side. Then they heard an awful crash as he smashed into the next-door-neighbour’s
garden shed.
James and his dad tore round into the back garden. It looked as if a hurricane
had come through it. The fence between them and next door was squashed flat. The little
shed where Mr Perkins kept his lawnmower was smashed to pieces. Slates were

chaos and confusion was Lassie, looking half-ashamed and half-proud. After
all, it was his first ever landing. And he was only a very young dragon.
“Lassie!” James shrieked and rushed at him. Lassie’s
huge green head turned towards James and the dragon
rubbed his head hard against the boy’s skinny chest.
