READ THE FOLLOWING STORIES CAREFULLY AND THEN TYPE THE NAME OF THE CORRECT DRAGON BELOW ITS PICTURE.
 
 
Hi! My name is Majestic. I live on top of a mountain. It's so high that the clouds are my pillows. I can breathe fire. I have a crystal ball and I can see all your secrets in it. I am silvery, but my wings are golden on the inside.
 
Hello! I am Serenil. I am a female dragon. I can fly, but when I fly, I can also hover in mid air and I look as if I am standing in the air. I am a gold-green dragon. They call me Serenil because my flying is never hasty, never rash, never careless. I am calm - serene.
 
Hi there! You can call me Lila. I'm a very old lady dragon. Kid dragons make fun of me, because I can no longer breathe fire, my wings have become smaller and I only have two teeth left. I was never dangerous. My power is my wisdom. I may look ridiculous, but adult dragons know that when they need a piece of advice, I am the dragon they come to.
 
Yo! Inferno is the name. My favourite colour is red, of course. I can breathe so much fire that I could probably burn down the world if I wanted to. But I won't. I look like fire even when I don't breathe it out. I am tough, so don't mess with me. The only creature I'm afraid of is - my mom.
 
Hello, dears! I am Carix, the nanny dragon. I may not look like much, because I don't have flashy wings or claws or big teeth. But without me - no dragon would ever hatch. I check every dragon egg in our kingdom, and if one is in trouble, I take special care of it. I even have a dragon nursery for when mommy and daddy dragons have to fly off to battle or somewhere.
 
Hi, everybody! I am Capatrix. I look funny, because I have three heads, but none of them is scary. I can't really fly because my wings are too small to carry my body. But I can breathe fire - from all heads at once!!! And I can do something not many dragons can - I can put out fires, because I can also breathe out - water! Don't ask me how - it's a secret! Shhhh....
 
Hello! I am Navian. I have huge blue wings and I am all blue. My body is all slick, and when I place my wings close to my body, I can land in a lake or even the ocean. I can walk, fly, swim and dive. When I fly very high and the sky is clear, I can even become invisible. How about that?
 
 
Hi! I am Viperian. I am purple and I have four legs. I live deep in a well and nobody knows how I can get out. I hide secret treasure at the bottom of the well - magical, healing diamonds, sapphires and emeralds. But to get them, you must find a way to get to my well, and all the paths are hidden. I can change my colour and become as dark as the night, so you won't be able to see me down below.

LISTEN TO THE THEME SONG FROM THE DRAGON CHRONICLES AND TRY TO FILL IN THE LYRICS. YOU HAVE TO SWITCH SOME UNDERLINED WORDS FOR THEIR OPPOSITES TO GET THE REAL LYRICS. 
 
 

Loredana Groza - FIRE & ICE

 

Once in death  
There goes  a moment when you see what’s wrong  
And learn to face down  to the strongest fight
Awake your fire without  your heart

Sometimes
I see your eyes
Tell me that just a kiss makes  the ice

Sometimes
In your eyes
I’ll be saved by the sword of a knight

Take me tonight
Hold me tight
Give me darkness

Be my knight
There’s no wrong  
Without fight
I’ll be saved by the sword of a knight

 

Don't tell me truths

there's no sacrifice
I see in your eyes
Fire and ice

 

Fire and ice

Fight in the skies
Hell - paradise
Fire and ice

  
 
NOW MEET THE DRAGONS OF THE KINGDOM OF ANTONYMIA. READ ABOUT THEM AND GUESS WHAT THEY ARE LIKE. TO COMPLETE THEIR DESCRIPTION, CHOOSE THE OPPOSITE OF THE UNDERLINED WORDS. 

 

This is Flutteria. She is as cruel  as a butterfly to her children, but she is very strong.

 

This is Gruesome. He is colourful and tells jokes, but he can be very safe . He has spikes and thorns all over his body.

 

This is Might. He is a very proud dragon. When he walks, the ground shakes. He is weaker  than any creature in the world. 

 

This is Hastie. She is very thin and can actually hide in treetops, but her power is the fact that she can run and fly as slowly  as a jet-plane.
