Lulu Zipadoo!

Oh, I have no idea what it could be, Barry.

This is really exciting, Hattie, I can't wait to see it.

There it is. So, what do you think it is?

I don't know, it really looks like some kind of tree trunk.

But how did it get here?

Something enormous must have put it there,

like an elephant, or maybe a rhino,

-or a monster!

-A monster? Aaaah!

-A monster!

Bam! Crash! Whack! Take that! Take that, you horrible dragon!

Bash! Pow! Swash! Take that, and take that, too! Bang!

You wouldn't be as brave as this

if you found yourself in front of a real dragon.

Oh, yes, I would. Dragons don't scare me.

Good, Hugo!

Well, I think that if you ever came face-to-face

with a big monster, you'd run and hide in your shell.

-That's not true. Dragons don't scare me at all.

-Yes, they do.

-Horrible!

-In the forest!

-Disgusting!

-It's huge!

-Really scary!

-A monster!

-A monster? Are you sure?

Yes! We heard it roar!

A terrible roar. It must be enormous, you know. It's huge.

BOTH: Oh!

-He's the dragon that escaped from the circus.

-Help!

-It's coming to get us!

-Don't panic.

Hugo and Lulu are going to catch that dragon

and bring it back to the circus.

BOTH: What?!

Of course you can. You two are the bravest, the ones who aren't scared.

Erm, huh...

-What's the matter?

-Are you too scared now?

Me? Oh, scared? Not at all, really. It's Hugo who's the scaredy.

Come off it, Lulu. Me? Scared? Never.

Good, because we have to bring the dragon back to the circus.

-I'll do that.

-Not if I find him first.

-So, do you want to race?

Yes, and I'm going to win.

Barry, you have to tell me where the dragon's growling was coming from.

But think, it's very, very, very important.

From over there, I'm sure, sure and triple sure.

-Where are you going? Barry said "over that way."

-Listen.

Dragons are known for doing exactly the opposite

of what you thought they were going to do.

So you just have to do the opposite of what they did in the first place.

Understand?

-Not really.

-Don't worry, just follow me.

A dragon is a very fierce animal, who can eat anything, whenever he wants.

Don't you worry, we'll get him a big snack so we can catch him easily.

And while he's eating, bang! You can catch him.

Oh, thanks for that, Freda. Great idea!

To catch a dragon, you need, one, a lot of luck. Right.

Two, to hide in a place that's very narrow,

so he can't reach you with his...flames. Ooh!

I got brown chocolate and jam, and orange juice, too.

I'm sure dragons love orange juice.

Thanks, Freda. You're a real friend.

So, here's a few tips. Three, never wake up a sleeping dragon.

And four, if you wake up a dragon, read number two again.

You can do it, you're the best, Lulu!

Thanks for being here for me, you two.

-That's finished.

-Perfect!

We have to cover the hole with some branches and some leaves.

And when the dragon walks over this way, he'll fall into our trap

and he'll be our prisoner. Any questions?

What if the dragon doesn't fall in the hole?

Well, he'll get really annoyed and start to chase us, ooh!

Yes... I mean, no.

Anyway, you won't be here,

because once we've finished the trap, you're going to go home.

ALL: What?!

My friends, if anything should happen to you,

I would never forgive myself, so I must stay alone to face the dragon.

I don't mind. Now you go home.

No, Hugo. We need to be here when

-the horrible dragon turns up.

-Right!

All right, all right, calm down, you can stay.

BOTH: Hugo, our hero!

That's really funny. We can't find any trace of the dragon.

Not even a footprint.

And since he breathes fire, we should at least find some wood that

has been burnt by his flames.

Well, I suppose we'll just have to accept it.

No tracks, no trace, no dragon. Oh, well, never mind. Let's go home.

-Oh, no!

-Wait, I'll see if I can see him.

-Oh, great idea, Hattie.

-Hip hip!

-Hooray!

Stop! Do you feel the earth shaking under your feet?

The dragon is close by.

I can't hear anything.

Well, I can, so now is the time for you all to leave me alone.

Off you go!

But why do we have to leave, Hugo?

-It feels like you're trying to hide something.

-Not at all.

I think once we're gone, you're going to run away, because

you're scared of the monster.

Ha-ha! Scared? Me? I don't think so.

I'm just telling you to go away, because the dragon will never

come near us if there are too many of us around the trap.

-That's the only reason.

-SAWING

-What is that?!

-It's a monster!

It's the dragon! Run! Whoa!

What if the dragon comes this way? What do we do?

Well, we'll tell him that... that we're not scared of him.

-Oh, come on, Lulu. That was for the dragon.

-I know that!

But it's the first monster I have ever caught, so I have to be strong.

Bad news, everyone. I flew over the whole forest. Not a dragon in sight.

-Oh.

-I think he's probably gone away.

Well, that's a real shame, because I was really looking forward to...

SAWING

-Oh!

-There he is.

Well, Lulu, what are you waiting for? Go on, we'll follow you.

No, I can't do that.

Remember what the book said? You never wake up a sleeping dragon.

That was rule number three.

You can go ahead and wake him up if you want. But I'm staying right here.

Can we just go and see him?

No, we'll let him sleep.

Who wants to pick some wild strawberries with me?

La-la-la! I'm going to pick some berries!

-Shh! Did you hear that?

-FOOTSTEPS

-It's the dragon.

-Huh?

-What are you doing in that hole?

-Huh?

I don't understand. Did you see the dragon, or not?

Yes, well, actually, no. But we heard him snore.

And when he wakes up, Lulu will jump on him. Isn't that right, Lulu?

Oh, Freda, please don't say things like that,

I'm not going to jump on him.

A tortoise against a dragon! I'm bound to lose.

What you really mean is that you're scared of him.

You're right, Hugo, I am very scared, so YOU can find that dragon,

because I know that you are much braver than me.

ALL: Hugo! Hugo!

I see some smoke near the school. The dragon must be over there.

-Yes. You're finally going to be able to find him.

-Great, let's go.

What am I going to do?

-Come on, Hugo, it's time.

-No, I don't want to. I just can't.

-And, why not?

Because I'm really scared.

-Sorry? I didn't hear that.

-I'm really scared.

-Sorry?

Oh, stop it, Lulu. I said I'm really scared.

Oh, just like me, then? But it's normal,

everybody is scared of dragons.

Maybe we could do it together.

Hugo and I are going inside the workshop.

If the dragon escapes, then you all stop him, OK?

ALL: OK. We're not scared.

Those are his eyes, there!

Let's be brave. Come on.

I don't believe it! Can you see that? The dragon is barbecuing something.

-Oh, that makes me hungry...

-'Oh!'

-Don't worry, don't worry. The problem will soon be solved.

-Oh!

Let's get him!

Now what kind of game are you playing, exactly?

-We were getting the dragon.

-What dragon?

-The one who escaped from the circus.

-We heard it snoring in the forest.

-Snoring?

-Like this.

SNORES

That was probably me sawing. We've got some termite mounds.

-That's where termites live.

-Termites?

Yes. They're insects that eat wood.

Termites are really bad. They can really damage wooden buildings.

So, I'm burning some cypress branches.

-Termites hate the smell of cypresses.

-Oh!

That sounds like a dragon to me.

It's a kind of dragon, but not a real one.

DISTANT SHOUTING

There's a Chinese circus in town.

During the shows, some of the artists

disguised themselves as a dragon.

In China, dragons are legendary animals.

Brilliant, I am going to ask my parents to take me to the circus.

Hugo, do you realise we were scared about a pretend dragon?

Yeah, well, speak for yourself. I was never scared.

Of course you weren't!

But we won't tell anybody. You were a little scared too.
