Chapter Ten MY FATHER FINDS THE DRAGON
When my father was crossing the back of the fifteenth crocodile with two more lollipops to go,the noise of the monkeys suddenly stopped, and he could hear a much bigger noise getting louder every second.Then he could hear seven furious tigers and one raging rhinocerosand two seething lions and one ranting gorilla along with countless screeching monkeys,led by two extremely irate wild boars, all yelling, "It's a trick! It's a trick!There's an invasion and it must be after our dragon.Kill it! Kill it!" The whole crowd stampeded down to the bank.
As my father was fixing the seventeenth lollipop for the last crocodile he heard a wild boar scream,"Look, it came this way! It's over there now, see! The crocodiles made a bridge for it,"and just as my father leapt onto the other bank one of the wild boars jumped onto the back of the first crocodile.My father didn't have a moment to spare.
By now the dragon realized that my father was coming to rescue him.He ran out of the bushes and jumped up and down yelling,"Here I am! I'm right here! Can you see me?Hurry, the boar is coming over on the crocodiles, too.They're all coming over! Oh, please hurry, hurry!" The noise was simply terrific.
My father ran up to the dragon, and took out his very sharp jackknife."Steady, old boy, steady. We'll make it. Just stand still,"he told the dragon as he began to saw through the big rope.
By this time both boars, all seven tigers, the two lions, the rhinoceros,and the gorilla, along with the countless screeching monkeys,were all on their way across the crocodiles and there was still a lot of rope to cut through.
"Oh, hurry," the dragon kept saying, and my father again told him to stand still.
"If I don't think I can make it," said my father,"we'll fly over to the other side of the river and I can finish cutting the rope there."
