But she gathered herself and looked up the hill
And said, "I'm going to go there."
So she walked up the rock
And she found a cave
Which was warm and a place to stay
So she went to the cave and she walked inside
The eyes of a dragon stared back at her
They were large and golden
And bigger than her
She scrambled to leave but the beast laughed
And it said, "Where are you going?
There's no way out. Don't you want to be free?"
"Yes," she said, "but I don't want to die."
And the dragon laughed and
It opened its mouth
And a column of fire came out
The girl, she ducked
And ran out of the cave
But the dragon went with her
It followed
The trees lit with fire
And the field went aflame
And the dragon roared and took to the sky
And the girl hid in the hills
Until it all went away
