It is night.
Percy is sleepy.
He is thinking about
the parade tomorrow.

Percy hears a rumble.
Something is coming.
Percy opens his eyes.

He sees a dragon.
It is big and yellow
and
scary
!

“Oh no!” cries Percy.
He shuts his eyes tight.

The rumble fades.
Percy peeks.

The dragon is
running away!

The next day,
Percy rushes
into the station.

“I saw a dragon
last night!” he says.

“Scared little Percy!”
teases James.
“You are off your tracks!”
