Dick the Dragon dwelt in a magical part of the woods in a cave full of skeletons. Dick had a problem because every minute the skeletons would play a tune with their bones. Now that was a problem because it really annoyed him and it would echo in his cave. So Dick was going to find a way to annoy them.
In the middle of the night Dick woke up and quickly tiptoed to the woods. In the woods he found a megaphone. So he decided to pick it up. While he was going home he met a wolf who said his name was Wolfy. Dick explained that he was trying to find a way to annoy the skeletons. Wolfy saw the megaphone Dick had picked up.
“Why not every time they play a song shout ‘la la la’ through that megaphone,” said Wolfy.
“What a good idea,” said Dick ”Why don’t you help me?”
“OK,” said Wolfy.
When they got to the cave all of the skeletons were fast asleep. Dick sneaked up to the singer skeleton and shouted in his ear. Then he shouted in the drum player’s ear. They both woke up and said “Oi! That really annoyed us!”
“Yes!” said Dick and Wolfy. The plan had worked and Dick never ever had to be annoyed again.
