So, you've got a tail.

0:34:060:34:08

Wings, of course.

0:34:080:34:10

Scaly skin. And...

0:34:100:34:13

Hello, I'm Sanjeev.

0:34:130:34:16

This dragon is letting me have a very close look at him.

0:34:160:34:20

Look, he's got scaly skin, pointy claws, two little wings.

0:34:200:34:26

I'm not sure how far he could fly with these wings!

0:34:260:34:29

Are all dragons the same colour?

0:34:290:34:32

Maybe the dragon in tonight's story could tell us.

0:34:320:34:36

He's called Zog

0:34:360:34:37

and the story is by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

0:34:370:34:42

Madam Dragon ran a school, many moons ago.

0:34:420:34:46

She taught young dragons all the things that dragons need to know.

0:34:460:34:51

Zog, the biggest dragon, was the keenest one by far.

0:34:510:34:56

He tried his hardest every day to win a golden star.

0:34:560:35:01

All the dragons in Year One were learning how to fly.

0:35:010:35:05

"High," said Madam Dragon, "way up in the sky."

0:35:050:35:10

"Now that you've been shown, you can practise on your own."

0:35:100:35:13

"You'll all be expert flyers by the time you're fully grown."

0:35:130:35:17

Zog went off to practise.

0:35:170:35:20

Flying fast and free, he soared and swooped and looped the loop

0:35:200:35:24

and then crashed into the tree!

0:35:240:35:27

Just then, a little girl came by. "Oh, please don't cry," she said.

0:35:280:35:33

"Perhaps you'd like a nice, sticky plaster for your head."

0:35:330:35:36

"What a good idea!" said Zog.

0:35:360:35:39

Then, up and off he flew.

0:35:390:35:41

His plaster gleaming pinkily as he zigzagged through the blue.

0:35:410:35:46

A year went by, and in Year Two, the dragons learned to roar.

0:35:460:35:51

"More!" said Madam Dragon. "Louder, I implore."

0:35:510:35:55

"Now that you've been shown, you can practise on your own."

0:35:550:35:59

"You'll be champion roarers by the time you're fully grown."

0:35:590:36:03

Zog went off to practise. He roared with fearsome force.

0:36:030:36:08

He kept it up for hours on end but then his throat grew hoarse!

0:36:080:36:12

Just then, the girl came by again.

0:36:120:36:14

She said, "What rotten luck!"

0:36:140:36:17

"Perhaps you'd like a nice, soothing peppermint to suck."

0:36:170:36:20

"What a good idea!" said Zog.

0:36:200:36:23

Then, up and off he flew.

0:36:230:36:25

And breathing fumes of peppermint, he zigzagged through the blue.

0:36:250:36:30

A year went by, and in Year Three, the dragons learned to blow.

0:36:300:36:34

"No!" said Madam Dragon. "Breathe out fire not snow!"

0:36:340:36:40

"Now that you've been shown, you can practise on your own!

0:36:400:36:44

"You'll all be breathing bonfires by the time you're fully grown."

0:36:440:36:48

Zog went off to practise.

0:36:480:36:50

He blew with all his might.

0:36:500:36:53

He twirled around in triumph and his wing tip caught alight!

0:36:530:36:58

Just then, the girl came by again.

0:36:580:37:01

She said, "You poor old thing."

0:37:010:37:04

"Perhaps you'd like a nice, stretchy bandage for your wing."

0:37:040:37:08

"What a good idea!" said Zog.

0:37:080:37:11

Then, up and off he flew.

0:37:110:37:13

His bandage flapping wildly as he zigzagged through the blue.

0:37:130:37:17

All the Year Four dragons were learning... Can you guess?

0:37:180:37:24

"Yes!" said Madam Dragon. "How to capture a princess."

0:37:240:37:28

"Now that you've been shown, you can practise on your own."

0:37:280:37:32

"You'll need to capture hundreds by the time you're fully grown."

0:37:320:37:35

Zog went off to practise.

0:37:350:37:38

He tried and tried and tried, but he simply couldn't manage.

0:37:380:37:43

"I'm no good at this," he cried.

0:37:430:37:46

"I'll never win a golden star."

0:37:460:37:49

Just then, he saw the girl.

0:37:490:37:51

"Perhaps," she said, "you'd like to capture me."

0:37:510:37:55

"I'm Princess Pearl."

0:37:550:37:57

"What a good idea!" said Zog.

0:37:570:38:00

Then, up and off they flew.

0:38:000:38:01

The princess gripping tightly as they zigzagged through the blue.

0:38:010:38:06

"Ah!" said Madam Dragon, "Our first princess so far."

0:38:060:38:11

"Congratulations, Zog. My dear, you've won a golden star."

0:38:110:38:15

Zog was proud and happy and Pearl felt good as well.

0:38:150:38:21

She took the dragons' temperatures and nursed them when they fell.

0:38:210:38:26

A year went by, and in Year Five, the dragons learned to fight.

0:38:260:38:31

"Right!" said Madam Dragon. "Here comes a real live knight!"

0:38:310:38:36

Up spoke the knight.

0:38:360:38:39

"My name," he said, "is Gadabout the Great."

0:38:390:38:42

"I've come to rescue Princess Pearl. I hope I'm not too late."

0:38:420:38:46

Zog breathed fire and beat his wings.

0:38:460:38:49

"You can't! She's mine!" he roared.

0:38:490:38:53

"Oh, no, she's not," yelled Gadabout and waved his trusty sword.

0:38:530:38:58

The other dragons crowded round and watched them all agog.

0:38:580:39:02

Who was going to win the fight?

0:39:020:39:05

Sir Gadabout or Zog?

0:39:050:39:07

Then Princess Pearl stepped forward crying, "Stop, you silly chumps!"

0:39:070:39:13

"The world's already far too full of cuts and burns and bumps."

0:39:130:39:17

"Don't rescue me. I won't go back to being a princess

0:39:170:39:20

"and prancing around the palace in a silly, frilly dress."

0:39:200:39:24

"I want to be a doctor and travel here and there."

0:39:240:39:27

"Listening to people's chests and giving them my care."

0:39:270:39:31

"Me too!" exclaimed the knight and took his helmet off his head.

0:39:310:39:35

"I'd rather wear a nice, twisty stethoscope," he said.

0:39:350:39:40

"Perhaps, Princess, you'll train me up?"

0:39:400:39:43

Pearl replied, "Of course!"

0:39:430:39:45

"But I don't see how the two of us could fit upon your horse?"

0:39:450:39:49

Then Zog said, "Flying Doctors, I'd love to join the crew."

0:39:490:39:54

"If you let me be your ambulance, I can carry you."

0:39:540:39:57

"Bravo!" said Madam Dragon. "An excellent career."

0:39:570:40:01

And all the Year Five dragons gave a loud, resounding cheer.

0:40:010:40:05

Then Madam Dragon told the horse, "I really hope you'll stay."

0:40:050:40:10

"I'll let you be my pupils' pet and feed you lots of hay."

0:40:100:40:14

"What a good idea!" said Zog.

0:40:140:40:17

Then, up and off he flew.

0:40:170:40:20

The Flying Doctors waving as they zigzagged through the blue.

0:40:200:40:25

That story was called Zog.

0:40:250:40:28

So there really are lots of different colours of dragons.

0:40:280:40:32

These wings are very strong.

0:40:320:40:34

So strong, they can carry two people! Wow!

0:40:340:40:39

It's time for you to zigzag and fly off to bed.

0:40:390:40:42

I'll see you soon for another story. Good night.

0:40:420:40:46

Now, I think you deserve a gold star for telling me all about dragons.

0:40:460:40:52

And there's one for you there. Well done!

0:40:520:40:55

There you go, you can hold onto that.
