Chapters
In the marmalade forest, forest, between the maple leaf trees, in a cottage cheese cottage, lives Albie, Albie, Albie, Albie, Albie, the restless dragon. Part 6. And so all of the villagers chased Albie the racist dragon into a very cold, very scary cave. It was so cold and so scary in there that Albie began to cry. Dragon tears. Which, as we all know, turn into jelly beans! Anyway, at that moment, he felt a tiny hand rest upon his tail. He turned, and who should that tiny hand belong to but the badly burned Albanian boy from the day before. "What are you doing here? I thought I killed you yesterday!" grumbled Albie, quite racistly.
"No, Albie, you didn't kill me with your dragon flames. I crawled to safety, but you did leave me badly disfigured." What? No way. Why are you crying?
I'm crying because all those horrible villagers chased me into this scary cave. I think it's because I'm so racist. Get your hand off my tail, you'll make it dirty.
No, Andy, it's not because you're racist that they chased you here. They chased me here too when I became all disfigured like this. They just don't like you and I. Because, well, because we're different to them.
That made Albie cry one single tear, and it turned into a jellybean all the colors of the rainbow.
Ding!
And suddenly Albie wasn't racist anymore. So they sat in the cave. Cave! And ate bubblegum Young Albie the racist.
