Dragons and Marshmallows Chapters 1-5

<p>Zoey waits eagerly for the doorbell to ring and on the fifth day, it finally does. She rushes to the barn to see who needs her help. She finds a “small, green, scaly animal curled up in a tight ball” (35). She sees a blue tail disappearing into the bushes and wonders if “another animal had brought this one here for help” (35). The creature is a baby dragon. He coughs and produces a spark, so she moves him to a pen with a dirt floor so he won’t set anything on fire.</p>
