I&#8217;ve got a big, big bed for dragons. You could take it up to the park on the swings.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Hollie:<\/span> it would sleep on the couch &#8217;cause my bed&#8217;s only little. It would eat stones.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Fay:<\/span> I&#8217;d give it oranges to eat because they&#8217;re so sweet.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Jade S:<\/span> he would sleep next to me and keep me warmer than my hot water bottle. He would have chicken breast, peas and broccoli for tea. Me and the dragon would have a feast every night.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Aoife:<\/span> I&#8217;d take it to my house and on a walk. Dragons eat apples.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Sophie M:<\/span> I&#8217;d take him down the river to get some fish. He could roast it himself by breathing fire.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Sian:<\/span> it would sleep under my bed and eat sausages and peas.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Oliver:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep it where it would be safe &#8211; in a cage so it wouldn&#8217;t run away.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Effy:<\/span> if I had a dragon, I&#8217;d keep it in a tent inside. You&#8217;d need a big tent. I&#8217;d feed it leaves.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Conan:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep it in a cage but inside to keep it warm. I&#8217;d give it chicken and peas.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Willow:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep it in my tree house. My Mummy said it&#8217;s for your teddies and your dragon.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Torrin:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep it in a basket made out of metal with a metal lid and a lock so it can&#8217;t get out. I&#8217;d give it something to eat after it had a sleep. It might run away to a knight&#8217;s home.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Ewan:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep my dragon in my wardrobe so it wouldn&#8217;t fly away.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Zander:<\/span> he would sleep under my bed to keep my feet warm. I&#8217;d give him macaroni.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Dylan:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep him under the bed and give him spaghetti.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Theo:<\/span> I&#8217;d keep it in the living room on the couch. I&#8217;d give it cereal &#8211; I think it would like Cheerios.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"> Ben:<\/span> it would sleep in my cat&#8217;s room and eat pizza with pepperoni.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What a lot of super ideas and there were many more.
