Once upon a time a dragon lived in a cave high in the mountains. Its name was Terry and it lived off of the forest berries. One day it went to its favorite spot to pick up some berries to eat only to find they had vanished. Anger and fury bubbled up from inside and it unleashed a fiery breath. Who dare invade its territory?

With a swish of its wings Terry flew high in the air to get a glimpse of the intruder. He flew around and around in a circle until finally he saw marks of someone or something trying to get away with a bag. This bag must hold the berries he's been searching for! He swooped down and found a way down through the tree branches to the place the intruder was headed. The masked face said it all in his opinion as he landed in front of them.

"Hand over the berries now! They aren't just for you to steal from me. You didn't ask. I eat those berries year round," Terry demanded.

"They are anyone's game and I didn't drop dead eating them. Nothing in this forest is claimed. It is first come first served. I found these berries fair and square. The redder they are, the ripper they are and the sweeter they are to eat," the man mocked Terry and heaved the bag over their shoulder.

"That's not right. What you are doing is wrong. The berries belong to the forest and I eat and throw the pits nearby so that more berries can grow and that's exactly what happens. This forest is filled with berry bushes because of me. Now give them back to me and I will spare your life. I hadn't eaten a human in a century or so. In fact, never had."

"If you think you are the guardian of this forest you are so sorely mistaken. We the gang need these berries to feed our bellies and food is running out. More and more security guards are on the loose."

"If that is your attitude then you will get it."

Terry huffed and puffed, then breathed out an ice breath, freezing the man in place and causing the man to drop the bag of berries. Then he took the berries, ate them and planted the pits. All for a days job he thought to himself. Then he went back to the cave and fell asleep and dreamed that a woman and her child were looking for ripe berries and finding none.
