James came to me this afternoon and asked if I would write down the words to his story. (He had drawn the pictures.) I didn't know what to expect.

Page 1: Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie

Page 2: Hamster Huey was a good hamster. He lived in a hole in a big mountain where people lived. One day a dragon came and burned the crops and grass and everyone ran to a cave and built a castle there. Each day the dragon came to the castle gates and they threw it all the food they had.

Page 3: One day someone came to fight the dragon. As soon as he saw the dragon he did a blow that cut off the end of the dragon's tail. Then, all of a sudden, he threw his sharp sword and it struck the dragon's tummy, and one of his wings fell off, and he fell to the ground dead.

Page 4: As soon as the people saw the dragon was dead they threw open the castle gates. Fireworks sounded the news that the great beast had fallen. People came out and measured how long the dragon was. Hamster Huey came out of his hole. When he saw the dragon he bit off his claws. Then he began to bite all his scales off. But when he saw that the dragon's tail was cut off he began to eat the tail. Then he went over and when he saw that one of the dragon's wings was cut off, he began to drink the blood that came from it. Then he began to bite off the tongue and eat it. And when he saw that the sword was in his chest he quickly ran to his cave and made another bright sword from the claw feet that he had saved from his house. And then he gave it to the hero. And when he saw it, he got on his horse. But before he ran away, he made a little chat with Hamster Huey. And then he quickly rode away. And then Hamster Huey heard something go "Kablooie!" The castle had been shot down. And everyone else lived happily ever after.
