Dear Uncle Morton,
You’d better get on a plane right now and
come back here. Your dragon has eaten
Jemima.
Emily loved that rabbit!
I know what you’re thinking, Uncle Morton.
We promised to look after your dragon for
a whole week. I know we did. But you never
said he would be like this.
Emily’s in her bedroom now, crying so
loudly the whole street must be able to
hear.
Your dragon’s sitting on the sofa, licking
his claws, looking very pleased with
himself.
If you don’t come and collect him, Mum
is going to phone the zoo. She says she
doesn’t know what else to do.
I don’t want the dragon to live behind bars.
I bet you don’t, either. But I can’t stop
Mum. So please come and fetch him.
I’d better go now. I can smell burning.
Eddie
