Dragon’s Ice Cream Dream Excerpt:

Truth be told, Dragon had never actually had ice cream before, either.  Dragon had only observed others eating it. Some ate their ice cream out of a cup, using a spoon. Others licked their ice cream out of a cone. This was the way that Dragon longed to try it – right from a cone. Dragon imagined the sweet taste of the ice cream followed by crunchy bites of cone. Just the thought made Dragon’s tummy rumble. They hoped one day they could try it for real.

Dragon’s good friend Odin owl had once told them that sometimes, you don’t get what you want right away, and you have to be patient. But right now, Dragon was tired of being patient. Dragon was hungry and thirsty, and on this hot, sunny day, ice cream seemed like the perfect treat.
