The dragons were gone. He couldn’t think of where they might be. They had been missing since last night. Or at least that’s when he noticed that they were gone.
I must find them; he thought as he wandered through the village, they shouldn’t be let out alone.
“MY DRAGONS! THEY’RE GONE!!!” he shouted as the villagers gathered around him, “PLEASE, SOMEONE, YOU MUST HELP ME FIND THEM!!!!”
The villagers scoffed in disdain, they had no desire to assist this foolish young man. Only one paid him any mind. A young girl, barely tall enough to look him in the eye, moved forward to join him.
“You should catch them quickly,” she said, “before they ravage the village.”
“Oh, you mustn’t worry, they are well trained.”
The girl looked serious for a moment.
“Well, that’s good; we wouldn’t want them to eat all the sheeps.”
The man stared at her, as if trying to determine her species.
“Sheep?”
She smiled and nodded indulgently.
“Yes, sheep. You know those wooly things out in the fields.”
The man’s eyes widened, shocked.
“Sheep? Oh!”
“What? What’s wrong?”
“I think I’ve made a mistake. I don’t have dragons, I have sheep.”
“Oh?”
“Yes and they aren’t missing either.”
The girl looked confused.
“They’re not missing! They’re out in the fields. Grazing.”
The girl shakes her head and storms off.
The man stood there looking confused.
“What did I say?”
