On St. George’s Day, Algy tries to take special care of dragons, to make sure that they come to no harm. As he flew over the great sea loch, he noticed that a spiny sea serpent was struggling to make its way back out to sea against the tide, so Algy watched from the stony beach to make sure that the dragon managed to return safely to the ocean 🙂
Algy doesn’t like St. George’s Day, or beastliness to dragons on any occasion. Dragons are Algy’s friends, for without them, who would breathe fire into the sunset?
He remembered the Chinese nursery rhyme, and went for a very special ride:
As the sun came up, a ball of red.
I followed my friend wherever he led.
He thought his fast horse would leave me behind
But I rode a dragon as swift as the wind!
