            Dream Drummer left the school and followed a path that lead into a forest. It was getting dark and spooky in this forest, the deeper he entered into it . Matter of fact it was getting downright eerie. He came to a hut that was almost falling down because it was so neglected. It looked as if there was no one at home ever. Since it was getting dark, Dream Drummer figured that it might be a good idea to stay in this hut over night and use it as a shelter. As he entered the hut, he saw creepy spider webs hanging from the ceiling and in every corner of the room. He begun to wondered if this place would be save after all, but since he was tired, he decided that this will have to do. It was not much later that Dream Drummer fell asleep. He did not know how long he had slept when a terrible thundering noise woke him up. As he looked outside, he saw a red dragon approaching the hut. Dream Drummer became afraid, so very much afraid that he bolted out the door and started running for his life. In his flight he kept looking back and as his fear became bigger. As his fear grew, so the dragon grew and became bigger and bigger and bigger. Dream Drummer's thoughts run nearly out of control because the fear did not allow him to think clearly, neither did the growing beast chasing him help. He started to feel the Dragon's fiery breath on his back.  'This is what I get for venturing out all on my own', he thought, I should have never come here into this 'Land of Imagination', never, never!' But then suddenly, the word 'imagination' sparked something in Dream Drummer's fear ridden mind! 'Imagination, yes, yes, that's it!  I need to use my Imagination!' and with that Dream Drummer turned around and faced the dragon even though he was still shaking and shivering with fear. It was hard for him at first to imagine that the dragon was harmless. Nonetheless he yelled at the approaching beast: "You are nothing, nothing at all, you are a teeny, tiny wimp, you have no teeth to hurt me, you have no fire to burn me, you are a worm, you are a teeny, tiny worm!" To his amazement he watched the dragon slowly shrinking, his fiery breath begun to cease and his fierce and frightening  look left all together. Gradually the dragon turned into a teeny, tiny little red worm and disappeared into the earth. 'Phu, this one almost had gotten the better of me', thought Dream Drummer! 'I know now what the danger can be when entering the 'Land of Imagination! One better thinks good and happy thoughts or else ones imagination can become life threatening. Will I have a story to tell my friends when I come home!'
