There once was a dragon named Marc, 

who lived in the hidden caves in the 

mountains of the Kingdom of Kandy.

The Kingdom of Kandy was a wonderful 

place in the middle of Candy Land. The 

currency, or money, was candy canes. 

The grass was made of strands of jelly 

beans, the trees we made of Liquorice 

and gummy bears, the flowers were 

lollipops, and giant ears of candy corn 

grew in the ground.

The people of the Kingdom were always 

happy. They had an endless supply of 

candy and awesome houses made of 

candy that they could eat! Also, 

everyone in the Kingdom was friends. 

They all loved Marc the dragon.

Marc was a very happy dragon with lots 

of friends, and candy that he always 

shared. He was the head of the Sharers’ 

Society, and wrote a book called Marc’s 

Manifesto, which is about sharing.  

But this was not always so. He used to 

be a very selfish dragon who would not 

share a single thing.   Marc was known 

as the selfish, mean dragon who had a 

heart as cold as a rock. Upon being 

asked by his peers if he would share 

some of his candy, he refused quite 

harshly.

When Marc was a little dragon, his heart 

was so cold, he could not even breath 

fire. Anything he breathed on would 

turn cold. He had no friends and kept 

his wealth to himself.   His wealth 

included candy, gold, puppies, and 

rainbows.   While his former friends 

played outside, he stayed inside. He 

was content for a while.  

But eventually, Marc got bored of 

staying inside and playing with the 

puppies, admiring the candy, and 

looking at the rainbows.   So, he put 

everything away and went out to play 

with his former peers nearest to his 

house.   They said, “We don’t want to 

play with you because you don’t share 

anything with us.   You’re no fun. And, 

you are very, very mean.”

Marc walked home sadly, his feet 

dragging against the ground and his 

head hanging down. His eyes were 

streaming tears like waterfalls. He 

thought to himself, “I want to have 

some friends.”   But how would he make 

some new friends? It would take him 

one thousand, eight hundred and 

eighteen (1818) years to figure out how 

to make friends.

Suddenly, he had an epiphany, or sudden idea.  

What about sharing?   Everyone complained 

that he didn’t share enough; perhaps sharing 

could make a difference.   Also, it could give 

Marc the friends he really wanted.   Marc grew 

up with a very rich family, and was quite rich 

when he held a job, but he had not shared 

before. He would easily be able to share lunch 

with his colleagues. The people most likely to 

be his friends were Nicholas and Alexander Jr, 

since they were his former classmates, and 

were also dragons. Nicholas and Alexander Jr. 

already knew each other.
