Alicia's Circus Adventure, Ian Mcluckie [portable ebook reader .TXT] 📗

/> Up through the clouds they darted, the hot sun warming them as the flew.
“ Are you all right Alicia, “ Dragon asked as he flapped his wings.
“ I'm loving it, “ was her reply. Dragon decided to tell Alicia about the Ducks. Alicia didn't laugh at her friend, she discovered she still had the bag full of fruit with her.
Dragon shouted,
“ That will come in handy with the Ducks, throw it at them.”
Higher & higher they flew rocketing through the clouds. Alicia was amazed to see that flying next to them was an plane full of people. The pilot sat stunned when they flew past him. He had been drinking coffee at the time when Alicia threw an apple at his window. They both laughed when he jumped out of his seat scolded by the hot coffee.
It wasn't long before Dragon started heading towards the ground. A forest came into view and in the middle of it was a large lake.
Dragon shouted, “ The Ducks live around that lake, hopefully they wont see us.” Dragon was flying really fast in the hope the Ducks wouldn’t see him. Alicia scanned the sky looking for any Ducks & shouted, “ So far so good Dragon, how much further to the animal park.”
The animal park came into view, a line of high fences surrounded the whole park. Alicia could now see that the park was in sections, with individual sections for each animal type. A line of cars could clearly be seen weaving along through the animals.
Dragon tried to hide themselves behind some low cloud as they flew overhead. But the cloud made it hard to pick out certain animals. Alicia shouted to Dragon, “ We need to fly lower, even if it means we will be seen.” Dragon agreed deciding to fly low over the park.
A Dragon the size of a house was now causing panic all over the park. Two Buzzards named Percy & Dinky were sat on a wooden stand, watching Dragon fly by.
“ Isn't that your x wife, “ Percy asked Dinky. Dinky squinted up to the sky and said,
“ Nope, she's uglier & fatter than that Dragon.”
Percy & Dinky laughed and hissed as he flew overhead.
One of the Lion keepers got such a fright, he accidentally crashed his Jeep through the Lion enclosure. The pride of Lions were now trying to catch & eat a lady in an electric wheelchair. People tried to warn her but, unfortunately for her she had headphones on. She never knew a thing until the Lion was chewing on her artificial leg.
Alicia shouted when she saw the Elephant enclosure. Thankfully there was only one young Elephant.
Rocky the Elephant laughed with surprise when he saw Dragon land next to him.
“ Hello my little friend, your dad sent us,” Dragon said. Rocky was excited to hear news of his dad, “ You came just for me, “ the little one said. Alicia climbed off Dragon & said,
“ We have come to take you to your dad.” The little Elephant started to cry saying,
“ I never thought I would see my dad again, I miss him so so much.” Alicia gave him a big hug, “ Well today you will see your old dad, but we better go now.”
Alicia got back on Dragon who flapped his wings, now hovering in the air. Rocky looked up as Dragon wrapped his claws gently around him. Rocky shouted, “ Good Bye,” as he lifted off into the sky.
Dragon flapped & flapped his wings to gain height. He was struggling with the extra weight of the baby Elephant. Alicia patted Dragon on the head, she knew he had to work hard to get them home. Rocky waved his trunk and shouted, “ I'm going to see my dad.”
Percy & Dinky looked up and saw the 3 of then go overhead.
Dinky laughed, “ That's more like her.”
The 2 old Buzzards laughed & coughed.
It wasn't everyday you see a huge Dragon carrying a baby Elephant.


Dragon hadn't forgotten about the lake. “ I wont be flying high enough or fast enough, to hide us from the Ducks,” he shouted. Alicia was the first to see the Ducks take off from the lake. “ There taking off, Dragon.”
100 Ducks had taken off from the lake & were heading towards them. Dragon shouted to Alicia, “ Do you still have your bag of apples.”
Dragon seemed to have a plan and he needed Rocky and the apples.
The Ducks were now closing on them fast. Unfortunately the speed Dragon needed to get away, was eaten up by Rocky's extra weight. Alicia took out an apple & put it on the end of Rocky's trunk. Rocky took a big breath and when a Duck got near, he fired the apple at him. Duck after Duck was knocked out the sky with Alicia's apples. Bang, Bosh, Bang, the Duck's fell out the sky.With Alicia's apples and Rocky's trunk, the Ducks gave up & fell away.

Echo walked in the grass outside the animal enclosure. A Lion lay nearby licking his lips, still with a wicked smile on his face. Coco the Gorilla was being pruned by the Monkey with a tuft of red hair. All the rest of the circus animals were close by, eagerly watching the sky. Every 2 minutes Echo would watch the sky, ever hopeful. An hour past, then another and just when Echo had given up hope. A dot appeared far off in the sky. Echo watched it intently as the dot grew and grew. All the animals roared with delight as the dot became a Dragon, a Dragon carrying a baby Elephant.
Dragon landed with a bump, tired exhausted from his adventure. Rocky ran up to his dad shouting,
“ Dad, Dad, I missed you.”
All the animals ran around to greet the newest member of their troop.
Echo said a big, ” Thank you, “ to Alicia & Dragon before they all went inside the Circus tent.
Lion grumbled to Coco, “ Father & son eh, they don't look alike, to me.”
After all the excitement had died down Alicia & Dragon decided to head for home. Dragon flew Alicia home, letting her off at the end of her garden.
“ Thank you Dragon, “ Alicia shouted. Her dad had seen Alicia fly over their house, happily he now stood at the back door waiting for his wee girl.
Alicia smiled & ran up to her dad. “ I've got a great story for you dad.”
