Zen is a very special dragon. He is the colour of jade stone. He is very fast. Zen does not fly with wings. He glides through the air super quickly!

Zen lives in the Himalayan mountains. The mountains are snowy and white. They are covered in misty clouds. Look! There are shimmery gold flashes in the sun.

Oh no! Zen is very sad today. He has forgotten how to breathe fire. He breathed in too much cold snow. It knocked his flame out!

Zen is very hungry. He likes to eat cooked meat. But he cannot cook his food without his fire. Poor Zen!

Zen also loves to dance. He does a fire dance for everyone. But now he cannot breathe fire. Nobody comes to watch him dance anymore.

Zen has a clever plan! He glides up to the big, bright sun. He wants to breathe in the sun's rays to get his fire back.

The sun is very hot! Zen cannot get too close. He has to turn back. His plan did not work. What will he do now?

Zen finds a dark cave. Inside, he sees something glistening. It is a big, magical magnifying glass! It was hidden in the cave.

Zen uses the glass to catch the sun. He makes a small fire on some logs. He breathes the fire in. Whoosh! Zen can breathe fire again!

Zen is happy! He cooks his meat and fills his tummy. Then he does his fire dance for his friends. Everyone breathes puffs of fire to celebrate!
