The Little Costume Dragon

In a snug village set among green hills, a small dragon named Ember spends quiet hours in his workshop. With mint-green scales, little wings, and a red sewing apron, he makes costumes but rarely shows them to anyone. His friend Pip, a curious boy with a drum, cheers him on, and Granny Willow gently compares hidden talents to seeds that need sunlight to grow. Each year the village holds a grand parade, and Mayor Bramble wants a straight, orderly march, though some villagers quietly long for something more playful.

On the night before the parade, Ember slips into the square carrying a bundle of costumes and leaves one at every door, each marked with a name. The next morning brings sparkling capes, feathered hats, and shimmering skirts, and the plain march becomes a joyful dance. When Mayor Bramble asks who is responsible, Pip points to Ember, and the shy dragon faces the attention he has always avoided. This gentle tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN explores courage, friendship, and the worth of sharing what you love. It can be read on Online Masal.
