Danny the Dragon's Daring Day

In a magical land, where dragons breathe fire, lived Danny the Dragon, who dared never aspire.

While dragons were fierce, with scales red and tough, Danny was gentle, his heart full of stuff.

Danny would hide when villagers neared, for they seemed so loud, and Danny was feared.
