The Ribbon Dragon

When the village fair comes alive with banners, balloons and ribbons, eight-year-old Lily is delighted to assist Pip the puppeteer in hanging decorations for the closing parade. A sudden gust of wind twists the ribbons into something magical: a tiny dragon made of glossy satin strips, with button eyes, ribbon wings and a gold bell at its neck. The joyful creature has no idea that its wild loops and swoops are tangling lanterns, garlands and awnings into a mess that worries Mayor Bea.

Instead of chasing the dragon away, Lily chooses to teach it. She holds out her hand, speaks gently, and shows the creature how to fly carefully, weaving between people and poles. With patience and a red ribbon to follow, the dragon practices gentle loops until it can move through the fairground without tangling a single thing. Written by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN, this warm tale follows Lily, Pip and Mayor Bea as they turn an accidental mess into a celebration, and it can be read on Online Masal.
