A dragon, a fairy, and a wizard came to play
\non the sun-drenched top of a hill one day.
\nThe dragon took boulders in his claws,
\nand tossed them and caught them in his jaws.
\nThe fairy took dew drops, and pollen from flowers
\nand colored the wind with her natural powers.
\nThe wizard rode a cloud up into the sky,
\nand he yelled, and he jumped; they thought he would die.
\nBut at the last moment, he swooped and he swayed,
\nand he laughed at his friends and told them not to be afraid.
\nWhen the sun sat down on a distant hill
\nthe three friends decided they’d had their fill.
\nThey waved to the sun, and then to the moon,
\nand the fairy said “summer days are over too soon!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
