Dragon Instructions

This week we have been writing instructions for keeping a pet dragon. Here is Zara's amazing work:


How to look after a pet dragon!

Are you thinking of buying a dangerous pet dragon? Would you like a pet that can keep you on your toes? If so, you have come to the right place. Dragons are dangeros, therefore, you should take real good care of it! If you want to buy a huge, firebreathing dragon, then you need to make sure that you are ready for this life changing addition to your family. However, this fiery nuisance is not all that you think it is! You need to make sure you are always running around on your toes cleaning up after it but, because it is that much of a pain, you might want to pull all of your brown, thick hair out. Belive me it will be a pet you never forget, you will love forever and you WONT regret! Read these wonderfull instructions to find out how to tame your pet dragon!

What you need :  Dragon whisle so you can call your intresting creatureback when you need it, a dwarf collar, an aboudance of fish, a gigantic bucket of milk as dragons like to drink plenty after their huge meal plus a fireproof cage that is big anough for the dragon!

What you do :
-You will probaly want your new, unique pet to roam aroud freely around the huge town concerquently, it will need to practice its flying skills especilly if it is a newborn, baby dragon! Therefore, you need to train it to respond to your loud whisle so it will come back when you blow it concerquently it will still hear even from a distance due to the fact that dragons have increadbly good hearing skills!
- If you want your deadly creatue to stay near you, you need to make sure that it has a strong, metle collar that can fit round its gigantic neak. You can get these strong, metle collars from shops like pets accessories, Things that your pet will need throught its life and deadly creatures things! In my experience i think that the best type of collar is made from dwarfs metle!
- Meal time for your unique pet, is very inperitive due to the fact that dragons look forward to these delectable three meals a day. The three meals a day are breakfast, lunch and tea. The lovley three meals a day are increadbly vital to the scary dragon and if the horrifying creature does not have them he might make a very easy mastake and eat you and your lovley friend for his dinner. So make sure you FEED it THREE times a day!
