Hello there. Oh, I am so happy you're here. Are you ready for story time?
0:04
I have a wonderful story for you today all about a dragon named Danny.
0:09
Are you all snuggled in and cozy?
0:11
Perfect. Okay, then let's open up our storybook and see what our friend Danny the dragon is doing.
0:17
Here we go. Our story starts in a sweet tiny village. And who is that we see? It's our friend Danny.
0:25
Danny the dragon lived in a cozy little home right next to a village.
0:30
Of sometimes dragons can be a little bit scary, can't they?
0:33
But not Danny. Oh, no, he was the kindest, friendliest dragon in the whole world.
0:39
Every single morning, Danny would walk through the happy little village and call out good morning to everyone he saw.
0:45
And all his friends would smile and wave and say, good morning, Danny.
0:49
And when nighttime came, Danny turned into a super helper.
0:52
He would fly to each house and with a gentle little puff.
0:56
He liked their fires so they could be warm and cook their yummy dinner.
1:00
After he made sure all his friends were warm and cozy, Danny would walk home and his heart felt so full and happy because you know what?
1:08
It feels so good to help your friends.
1:10
But then one sunny morning something new came to the village.
1:15
Hmm, it was on wheels and it was very colorful. I wonder what it could be.
1:21
It was a funny man with a big cart.
1:23
His name was Mr. Marvo and he was shouting in a very loud voice.
1:27
Come and see, come and see, buy my magic fire sticks.
1:31
He showed everyone what the sticks could do.
1:34
Whoosh, sparkly stars flew out of the end and pop just like that.
1:39
They could light a fire and cook dinner. Wow.
1:42
The villagers had never seen anything like it.
1:45
Amazing shouted the villagers.
1:47
I want one said somebody I'll take six said another and soon everyone in the whole village had bought one of the magic fire sticks.
1:56
But oh dear that night as the sun went down something was different.
2:01
Something that made Danny feel a little bit sad Danny went to his friend Joe's house to light his fire just like he always did.
2:09
But Joe said, Oh, not tonight, Danny.
2:12
I have a magic fire stick now.
2:14
I don't need a dragon.
2:16
Poor Danny, his wings felt all droopy.
2:19
He went to Peg's house and she said the same thing and then he went to Sam's house and it was the same story there too.
2:26
Everywhere he went, nobody needed his help.
2:29
Oh poor Danny, he sat down and looked at all the village lights and he thought a very sad thought.
2:35
He thought, no one needs me anymore.
2:38
How do you think that makes Danny feel?
2:41
Yeah, I think he feels very lonely and maybe a little bit hurt.
2:46
It's not a very nice feeling is it?
2:48
So with a very heavy heart Danny walked slowly back into the quiet woods.
2:53
He felt so alone and he tried really, really hard not to cry.
2:57
But wait, what's that noise?
2:59
Who is that creeping through the trees?
3:01
They don't look very friendly at all.
3:04
It was a gang of robbers and they saw the lights from the village and they could smell all the yummy food.
3:12
Ooh dinner grumbled their leader in a silly gruff voice.
3:17
The robbers ran right into the village and they were not being very nice.
3:21
They pushed people and can you believe it?
3:23
They took all their food right from their tables.
3:27
Cryed all the villagers, they looked around for Mr. Marvo, the man with the magic sticks,
3:33
He just got scared and ran away.
3:36
But listen, someone did hear their cries for help.
3:39
A real hero is coming to save the day.
3:42
Do you know who it is?
3:44
All the way in the woods Danny heard his friends and you know what?
3:47
He forgot all about being sad.
3:49
His friends needed him.
3:51
He knew he had to be brave and go help them right away.
3:54
Danny swooped down into the village.
3:56
He took a big breath and a tiny little flame came out and made one of the robbers beards all warm.
4:03
Then he toasted their feet.
4:06
That must have tickled.
4:08
And then he gave their bottoms a little toast too.
4:11
The silly robbers were so surprised that they ran away as fast as they could.
4:16
Far, far away and they were never ever seen again.
4:20
Hurray for Danny cheered all the villagers.
4:23
They gave him the biggest, warmest hug and told him they were so sorry.
4:28
And to say a big thank you, they used the magic sticks to build a beautiful shiny new roof for Danny's house.
4:35
The villagers learned that even when something new and sparkly comes along,
4:39
a real friend is someone who is there for you when you really need them.
4:43
That's what makes a good friend, isn't it?
