Rory was afraid of winter's darkness. He always thought that monsters and demons of the dark might creep out from the shadows. So one day Rory makes a dragon of emerald green with a crest of brilliant red. The Winter Dragon comes to life to tell stories of dinosaurs and crocodiles, of knights and battles, and Rory grows brave. And as spring approaches, Rory sleeps peacefully and the Winter Dragon dreams of returning to his fiery home.
