A long time ago, there was a lonely dragon named Doug. He was the color of midnight. He was huge and covered in sharp, pointy scales. The fire he breathed could light up the night sky.
He lived in a huge dark cave just outside the village of Buttery Glen. One night, during a wild thunderstorm, Doug saw a lightning bolt strike the ground and a wildfire began to spread throughout the village. The castle began to crumble to the ground.
The townspeople of Buttery Glen blamed Doug for the fire and said they saw him start it.

Everyone in the Kingdom was scared of the dragon...everyone but one brave and friendly knight, Dr. Pryor.
Dr. Pryor wanted to be a friend to Doug the Dragon. She was strong and brave and unafraid.
Sure, the dragon breathed fire. But there were people with worse breath. And sure, the Dragon looked scary. But there were dogs in the village with scarier faces.

One day, Doug, the dragon, had come down from his cave and was hiding in the cornfields.
Everyone ran to escape the dragon. Everyone except for Dr. Pryor .
Armed with her homemade sword, tin foil hat, and shield, Dr. Pryor sauntered through the deserted village toward the cornfield.

When she spotted the dragon, Dr. Pryor snuck up behind him.
“Excuse me!” Dr. Pryor yelled. The dragon roared. He lowered his head to her level. Dr. Pryor felt the dragon’s hot breath on her face.
“I’m Dr. Pryor ,” she said. “I’ve come to meet you."

The dragon’s breaths quickened. Huff! Huff! Huff! It looked like the dragon’s fire was about to blow! Dr. Pryor braced herself. But instead of fire coming out his mouth, tears began pouring down the dragon’s snout.
“That's so kind of you! No one ever wants to meet me!” the dragon said.
"What's your name?" asked Dr. Pryor.
"I'm Doug," replied the dragon.

“I'm sorry! I think you're pretty cool! I like your scales!” Dr. Pryor replied.
“Well thank you,” the dragon said. “I haven't been able to make many friends since everyone thinks I burned down the castle. I promise I didn't. It was a lightning bolt that started the fire."
“Wow,” Dr. Pryor said. “Sounds like we need to change that. We’ve got to fix this. What are you good at?”
“Breathing fire,” replied the dragon.
“Well, let’s see it,” ordered Dr. Pryor.
