In "The Reluctant Dragon," a charming tale by Kenneth Grahame, a young boy discovers a friendly dragon living in a secluded part of the countryside. Unlike typical dragons, this one is gentle and loves poetry rather than fighting. When a local knight learns about the dragon, he intends to slay it, leading the boy to concoct a clever plan to save his newfound friend. Through humor and heart, the story explores themes of bravery, friendship, and the importance of understanding others, emphasizing that not everything is as it seems at first glance.
