I really liked the dragon because he eats up all of the food. It made me laugh that he had a doughnut behind his back watching the fireworks.

The Helpful Dragon is really helpful and the dragon was hungry and Lucy gave a packet of crisps but we don't know if she got her reward and was able to buy her new bike!
