The Dragon Fever
At the ocean a surfer looked up and asked his friends If that was a dragon on the beach. Just then the dragon spotted them and screamed,"AHHHHHHHH. It's a person!!!"(Irony) Then, he flew back to a small, abandoned lake. Once there he drank for a while. It did not help. After that, he called his father. His father said to lie down and suck it up. This did not seem like a good option to Drake so he called his little brother and asked what to do about dragon fever.
His brother said,"Take a deeeeeep breath and blow with everything you got!" Drake did. He blew and blew and blew. He blew so hard that the extra fire in his stomach (Dragon fever) came out. He blazed across the grand Canyon,Mt. Rushmore, the Eiffel Tower, and finally, the circus. The fire in the circus was in tents(Pun). A little ways past the circus he crash-landed(Oxymoron). His little brother's advice was the best.
