The Dragon Fire & Brimstone

Once upon a time, on a very dart night, a great hunter named ORION started out to hunt a
DRAGON. Now everyone knows that a DRAGON can set almost anything on fire, and ORION
knew this, so he took along with him the BIG DIPPER and the LITTLE DIPPER and the
MILKY WAY. As he mounted his horse, PEGASUS, he spilled the MILKY WAY and had to
dismount and refill the BIG DIPPER and the LITTLE DIPPER. Once again he mounted
PEGASUS and away they flew, for PEGASUS had wings and could fly through the sky. Now to
find the DRAGON, thought ORION. He must be around here somewhere. Just then, he saw
him! He was really hard to miss, as the DRAGON was up to his old trick of breathing fire just to
scare people. “Whoa, PEGASUS", said
ORION. “We must sneak up on him or
he’ll burn us before we can put out his
fire.” PEGASUS stopped, and ORION
got off and took with him the BIG
DIPPER and the LITTLE DIPPER.
Very carefully, ORION made his way
toward the DRAGON. Just as he was
about to pour the MILKY WAY from
the BIG DIPPER and the LITTLE
DIPPER on him, the DRAGON turned
and saw him and started spouting
dreadful fire at him. When PEGASUS
saw what was happening, he flew at the
DRAGON, beating his wings. At the
same time, ORION threw the MILKY
WAY from the BIG DIPPER and the
LITTLE DIPPER on the DRAGON and
put out his fire. The DRAGON, with his
fire out, turned, and fled into the
darkness. To this day, he will only
appear in the daylight, and is known to
us as the ' Sun'.
