Whenever Bobbin went for a walk in the Dead Wood Forest he would wear his hat.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">One day Bobbin was out looking for mushrooms. The wind started blowing and Bobbin's hat flew off his head. Bobbin chased after his hat but he could not catch it. After a while Bobbin could not see his hat anymore. He had lost it.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">Bobbin searched and searched for his hat. Eventually he found a dark cave. Bobbin could see his hat lying in the shadows of the cave. Bobbin also noticed something strange about the cave; the cave sounded like it was breathing. The cave was actually the mouth of a huge dragon, but Bobbin did not know that.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">Bobbin climbed inside the cave. He liked caves because he lived in a cave. This cave was much hotter than Bobbin's cave. It was also wet and slimy. Bobbin decided to grab his hat and go home to his own cave. But before Bobbin could get out of the cave, the dragon's mouth snapped shut.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Century, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"></span><span lang="EN-US"></span> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">It was very dark and hot inside the dragon. Bobbin decided that he would try find a different way out of the dragon, so he climbed down the dragon’s throat. The dragon felt something scratching his throat so he started to cough, and red flames burst around Bobbin. Bobbin liked fire, but only when it was cooking his food, not when it was cooking him. He started jumping up and down and rolling on the floor to try and escape from the flames. This tickled the dragon’s throat and he started laughing. The dragon laughed so hard that Bobbin flew out of his mouth and landed in a tree.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US">Bobbin decided that he didn’t like losing things.
