 | "Okay, Hungry, you hide behind the tree here while I will go sit on this stump. That way when a traveler comes along, better the chance I have to distract him and they won't see you" said Meen. "Isn't this more fun then jumping the frogs down at the Pond?" |  |
About this time, the Baron started to appear around a bend in the trail and was heading right for them. "Get down, now Hungry, don't let him see you," reminded Meen.
Sitting there for someone to just wander by wasn't that exciting, thought Hungry. Besides, he was starting to get hungry.
As the Baron was now closer to the log, Meen decided it was time to leap out. Meen jumps from the log and lands in front of the Baron, startled he jumps back and raises his cane in defense. "What are you? Or more like, who are you?" asks the Baron. "You wouldn't be trying to get me lost now would you?"
"Are you asking for directions?" smiles Meen. Whispering to Hungry, "Let's hope so, that way we can send him around in circles. Otherwise this won't be as much fun".
| Suddenly, from out of the bushes there came a low growl. "Be careful there, strange one, there is something behind that tree!" warns the Baron. "Nah, that's just Hungry's stomach," Meen replies. "Hungry?" the Baron repeats. "Yeh, come on out Hungry, he heard you." Out of the bushes steps the baby Dragon, turns to the Baron and Meen and growls, "I'm hungry... I am going home." |  |
 | As the baby Dragon meanders down the trail, the Baron inquires of Meen where 'home' might be? "Oh, he lives in the caves under the Baron's Mansion. I better go with him or Granny will be mad if he shows up by himself." With a big smile on his face, the Baron watches as Meen and the baby Dragon meanders down the trail showing him the way home! |
