Spikeys Castle

Today our friends Noah, Zarif, Isabella, Riley, Bridget, Gerard and Jackson started a story. We would like our friends around the world to add to our story! Leave us a comment to let us know what should happen next.

Once upon a time Spikey wanted a castle. He found a castle that was perfect for him. He sat in his chair and wanted to stay in it forever.

But...
then a blue fire-breathing dragon with eight horns came and burned down the front door! ...

Next...
A brave Knight came and wrestled with the dragon! He scared the dragon away and he never came back again!

Finally...
Spikey came out of the castle and said "Thank you brave Knight for saving my castle from the dragon." Spikey and the Knight became best friends.
