The dragon guarded her cave. Chuck Norris watched.
The dragon was at least three quarters of the size of a football field. She had a head that looked just like a fish, and her body was silver – like the metal, very shiny. She had big, bulging eyes that were blood red. Her wings were neon green and if Chuck had to guess he would say that they were paper. The eyes were strange. They actually looked rough to the touch. The silver metal skin seemed a little like jello. He thought the skin might be warm.
The dragon was stinky. She smelled like pepper and flowers. He hated that combo. It made him want to sneeze. The dragon was quacking very loudly. Every third quack she made a strange Urg sound. Chuck knew he hadn’t been spotted yet. He assumed she was trying to scare off all of the animals that were creeping near the cave.
While he watched, Chuck leaned back to enjoy the sun. As he sunbathed, he drank a chocolate milk shake. He didn’t love the smell of the shake but it still tasted pretty good.
Something startled Chuck. It was the strangest creature with a dog head and a pig’s body. Chuck quickly rolled to the side.
The dragon saw him! She quacked! She flamed him. The hair on his arm was singed off.
Chuck decided he needed to meet the dragon. He sprayed himself with bug spray to ward off any creepy-crawlies near the cave. Then he crept near. He thought he would have to fight. But, surprisingly the dragon seemed to want to be friends. She handed him a cappuccino even as she quacked at the dog-pig. Chuck was glad she was acting friendly. He wanted to discover the secret of the cave and take it. He drank the cappuccino then set it down. While the dragon watched suspiciously, he walked confidently into the cave and opened the refrigerator.
From within, millions of food zombies woke up and attacked.
Chucked Norris yelled, “HOW DARE THESE IMBECILES TRY TO ATTACK THE CHUCK NORRIS!”
He grabbed a handful of zombies and threw them at the dragon. He roundhouse kicked the zombies and the dragon. The zombies flew toward the dragon. The dragon toasted the zombies in midair with her blue flame and snapped them up. The dragon grew 10 times bigger, but all those zombies seemed to give her an upset stomach. She threw them up. Then she started to bleed. She bled so much that she shrunk to a teeny-tiny size.
Chuck wondered what was in the fridge. He approached. The teeny-tiny dragon stepped in front of him and made a very tiny quack. Chuck Norris began to scream high-pitched like a girl. He screamed so loud that he blew the tiny dragon out of the cave. Thank goodness his breath was so bad that he could blow her away. He opened the fridge. There were little frozen dragons inside.
Suddenly something knocked into Chuck Norris. It was the dog-pig! The dog-pig had knocked him to the ground…
