Dibble's Mighty Sneeze
Dibble was a little dragon, but he was different. All the other dragons could breathe big, hot fire. But not Dibble! When Dibble tried to breathe fire, he would just sneeze. A big, loud, "Achoo!"
"Look at Dibble," the other dragons would laugh. "He can't breathe fire, he just sneezes!"
Dibble felt sad. He wanted to breathe fire like the others. But every time he got near smoke, his nose would tickle, and he'd sneeze again. Smoke made his nose itch!
One sunny day, the dragons had a big fire show. They made big fireballs and fiery rings. But then, something went wrong! Too much smoke filled the sky. The dragons coughed, and they couldn't see.
"Help!" they cried. "We can't see!"
Dibble felt a tickle in his nose. He knew what was coming. "Achoo!" Dibble sneezed a mighty sneeze. The sneeze blew away some of the smoke. He sneezed again, "Achoo! Achoo!" More smoke went away with each sneeze. Dibble kept sneezing until all the smoke was gone.
The other dragons cheered. "Dibble, you saved us!" they said. "Your sneeze is amazing!"
Dibble smiled. He might not breathe fire, but he had a superpower after all. And it was his mighty sneeze!
