A Dragons Egg

Oink oink grunted the hungry pigs as I fil direct their trough with destruction nights leftovers. They plunged their fat heads into the soggy spaghetti bolognaise as I turned to stop myself from being sick. Next stop the cows, I spoke aloud. With a sigh of dread, I hopped over the gate and began milking the six feet shocking and white beasts.M-u-m Im h-o-m-e, I shouted upstairs. No answer. Mum, I repeated, still no answer. My face turned red in anger and it felt same(p) steam blew out of my nostrils. Mum I screamed as loud as possible. What, my mum replied, last-placely heeding me. My tonsils throbbed so I climbed up the stairs kinda of shouting and peered into my Sister Lillys bedroom, she was lying there with a thermometer dangling from her mouth and she was plastered in red spots.Ha, ha, ha, ha, I couldnt stop myself from laughing. Lilly shot back a mean look and Mum gave me a lecture on how I should care for my Sister instead of hating her. Youll have to do the Chickens tod ay John, tell my Mother. My name is John and Lilly is my very, very, very annoying Sister. But I hate Chickens, I protested, their scrawny crooked legs, scagged feathers and their beady eyes, not to mention their gimpy, dorky head. My mum gave me a stern look and handed me the chicken feed.I headed out the penetration and the country smell of cow dung hit me like a brick wall, the temperateness peeped out of the clouds and blistered down feather on my angry face. In the distance I heard the sound that make my hair stand on end and made me shudder all over. You see when I was young five chickens chased and pecked me all the way around the cows field, the pests. Now the sound became clearer and closer, it went like this Buck-Buck-Buck-Buck-Buckok, I cringed and shivered as the noise approached closer and closer and closer and closer until . Yuck, oh, Yuck, Chicken poop eeew I wailed. I glanced up, a circle of chickens surrounded me, one of them squawked and the live of them charg ed towards me and began pecking AARRRGHH I bellowed as I impersonated Superman flying into the chicken shed.I dumped the chicken feed in a pile on the nucleotide and darted out dodging and move throughing any obstacles in my way, including those pesky chickens. I stopped to catch my breath, I panted like a thirsty dog and gave a mean stare to the chickens who had spread themselves in a line as if to guard their territory. Despicable feathery fluff-buckets they all are I thought to myself. I climbed to my hands and knees when I spotted, WOW Amazing, brilliant, I cried aloud, it was a huge bollock almost as big as the chickens.I stared at it in inflame disbelief, I was baffled, tumesce I thought to myself, forget double yolkers, then a sly grin spread across my face, well its pretty solidity maybe the chickens depose hatch it by sitting on it, I decided, I threw the gigantic egg directly at the centre chicken, it caused panic among the flock, they flapped their fly and squawke d high pitched screeches and all I could do was laugh. abruptly silence fell over the flock and they advanced, gradually picking up the pace. I support off easy at first but in the end I yelled RETREAT, and scarpered all the way home.COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO screeched the cockerel. Damn cockerel waking me up at six each morning, I wish I had a shotgun, Id blow his head off, I muttered and I moaned about life all the way down to the kitchen until, ummm, Pop Tarts, where have you been all my life. I took a bite but then my Mum burst in to spoil the moment. No time for that those chickens wishing feeding, she told me, I carried on munching until NOW startled I spilt my breakfast all over the floor. My mother growled and I knew that it was time for me to depart.Hello chickens, I cried. I couldnt hear the slightest of sounds and I was right next to the pen, they moldiness be making a battle plan. I decided to poke my head through the door. Nothing, except, the super egg had hatched, weird I thought. I stepped inside and to my horror a two-foot long dragon burped and chicken feathers were dispersed from his mouth, I gulped and fainted.When I finally woke up I was greeted by the unpleasant smell of dragons breath and slobber. I pushed him aside and he hung his head low and said please dont hurt me, sorry about the chickens I was a bit peckish ha, ha Once again I collapsed in a heap on the ground, and was awakened by the same sinful smell. How-How-How- Wha-What-What, I stuttered, thats quite a long name you have there, my names Herbert the dragon, say I do hope Im not intruding but do you have a cage I could possibly stay in? you see its rather nippy out yer. I was caught in some risible kind of trance and obeyed his every command, my eyes ablaze like a demon.As I reached my bedroom I had finally calmed down, I gripped the red scaly dragon firmly around the waist as he chatted along. I already realised he had a bad case of verbal dihorea. Oh no, I said sarcastically th eres not a spare cage, both of us stared at the interesting array of different species of reptiles. Herbert began to lick his lips which ones my supper, questioned Herbie. None, I replied Youll be quiescency in my sock drawer. What are you crazy, the smell will over come me, Ill suffocate, Ill SLAM the drawer slammed shut and at last Herbie shut up.John, John, cried my mother awaking me its cabaret am, the dopey cockerel overslept.No I think youll find Herbie ate him, I replied.WHAT she screamed.Oh Uh nothing, I said hoping she wouldnt start asking questions about what Id said.Listen youll have to do your breakfast yourself and dont forget those chickens, right Gulp uh yeah sure. I rose from my bed and opened my drawer burp, oh yuck, dragons breath, the foul aroma filled the room, well its not me its your socks.My socks, where are they? I asked.A dragons got to eat kiddo.Why I ought to, I threatened, but the dragon put on those puppy eyes so I threw him on the bed and took the li d off my prize possession, my Chameleon, Bob, he was about three feet long but his cage was a massive ten-foot longer. I placed him on my bed next to Herbie and turned back round to smooth out the sawdust on the bottom of Bobs cage but then Herbie pulled the final straw, as I turned back round to see Bobs legs disappear into Herbies open mouth, my face was so mean looking now the spots would jump off any leopard. Herbie stared up at me and said you know, if you pull that face you might get stuck like it, I growled and started strangling Herbie, but suddenly he became three times the size that he was before, he was now eight feet long and weighed a ton, I dropped him in the cage, he struggled for breath. I gave him one last stern look and padlocked him inside and left to do my daily chores.ARRRGHH I shouted, my tonsils on fire, my heart pounding like a drum. Herbie had exploded out of his cage, gobbled up all the lizards and was now fifteen feet long. GET OUT N-O-W I bellowed and cri ed at the red lump of lard. But where can I go, what can I do, what can I eat? Herbie fired the questions at me like a machine gun until he finally ceased. I offered him the garden shed. I have no choice, answered Herbie weeping as he waddled outside. I met Herbie five minutes later hed just managed to squeeze his obese figure through the door. Now he led there with a face as if hed lost a pound and found a penny. I hadnt had the chance to talk man-to-man, well boy-to-dragon so I accepted this opportunity to do so. Uh so Herbie where do you come from?China, he replied, and your parents are where?Southern Hemisphere I suppose, thats our targeted destination but I must have been dropped from my mums pouch during the flight.Hey wait a minute, how do you know this if you were an egg?Read it in your book on top of Bob the Iguanas cage.Oh come on you cant believe a kiddies book, theyre most probably looking for you right now. Trying to soothe Herbies sorrows was very hard, so in the end the only solution was to gather in Herbie into the guestroom. Thank you, thank you, Herbie danced joyfully around the garden with his red scaly tail wagging, as I led him to his room. Now listen Herbie my Mother, Sister and I have to make a short journey to the pharmacy and Grans so go to sleep, be good and please dont grow. I turned out of the light and worriedly walked to the car.We returned about ten PM that night to see Herbies head poked out to the chimney, his four legs through the downstairs windows, his tail through the back door and now he had wings that shattered either side of the roof. I glanced around to see my Mother and Sister had now fainted and were sprawled out on the floor. Suddenly a spectacular sight I was glad to see, Herbies family had parked themselves in our back yard. The biggest one spoke first, thanks for looking after my son, and with that they floated up, up and out as a shower of fairy dust reformed our decapitated house. Thanks boomed Herbie, my ple asure I thought. I turned to my Mum and Sister who were in a daze. Hows about some cakes and cocoa, I suggested, then disaster, a gigantic egg landed on the doorstep.
