Luckily they were very shy crocodiles and therefore rarely ever seen. The drawbridge was lowered over a moat, in which grisly, snappy crocodiles were said to live. In the middle of a lush, green forest surrounded by apple trees, oak trees, cherry trees, lemon trees, orange trees, cedar trees, cinnamon trees, banyan trees, candyfloss trees and every other kind of tree that may or may not exist, stood a grey-coloured, English-style castle with four towers and a drawbridge. This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to real persons/dragons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.Ĭhapter Three - The Continuing Nuisance of JellybeanĪ Request from Elias Zapple One Jellybean the Dragon He wishes you all to know that every penny made from the books will go straight into his bank account, which he will then spend on a lavish, new tent.

It is believed the fumes from the chimneys did so much damage to Elias, that it was a miracle he ever ate a cupcake again.
