Chapter 7 Summary: “The Secret”
That evening, Flute wakes up Elmer and the dragon from their nap and they all walk back into the forest to see the King. At first the King does not like the dragon, but he then decides that he can stay, since everyone will soon know his family’s secret anyway.
He tells the three friends that there is treasure buried under his big tree, and he is so curious about what it could be. Being so tiny, the canary King could never dig it up and discover what it is. Elmer decides to help him get the treasure; he finds a shovel and begins to dig.
After many hours of work, he finally finds the iron treasure chest. Filled with excitement, Elmer, Flute, King and Queen Can, and the dragon all want to open the chest, but it is too dark, and so they must wait until the morning.
Chapter 8 Summary: “Treasure”
The next morning, Flute sings loudly, and all the island’s canaries gather around, excited to see what is in the treasure chest. Dragon uses his tail to lift the heavy chest out of the hole and set it on the forest floor.
