They found out that a ship would be sailing the next week, so right away they started planning for the rescue of the dragon.

e him carry loads that are much too heavy, and if he complains, they twist his wings and beat him. He's always tied to a stake on a rope just long enough to go across the river. His only friends are the crocodiles, who say 'Hello' to him once a week if they don't forget. Really, he's the most miserable animal I've ever come across. When I left I promised I'd try to help him someday, although I couldn't see how. The rope around his neck is about the biggest, toughest rope you can imagine, with so many knots it would take days to untie them all. "Anyway, when you were talking about airplanes, you gave me a good idea. Now, I'm quite sure that if you were able to rescue the dragon, which wouldn't be the least bit easy, he'd let you ride him most anywhere, provided you were nice to him, of course. How about trying it?" "Oh, I'd love to," said my father, and he was so angry at his mother for being rude to the cat that he didn't feel the least bit sad about running away from home for a while. NIGHT TOO SOMETIMES THEY MAKE HIM CARRY LOAVES THAT ARE MUCH TOO HEAVY AND IF HE COMPLAINS THEY'D TWIST HIS WINGS AND BEAT HIM HE'S ALWAYS TIED TO A STAKE ON A ROPE JUST LONG ENOUGH TO GO ACROSS THE RIVER HIS ONLY FRIENDS ARE THE CROCODILES WHO SAY HELLO TO HIM ONCE A WEEK IF THEY DON'T FORGET REALLY HE'S THE MOST MISERABLE ANIMAL I'VE EVER COME ACROSS WHEN I LEFT I PROMISED I'D TRY TO HELP HIM SOME DAY ALTHOUGH I COULDN'T SEE HOW THE ROPE AROUND HIS NECK IS ABOUT THE BIGGEST TOUGHEST ROPE YOU CAN IMAGINE WITH SO MANY KNOTS IT COULD TAKE DAYS TO UNTIE THEM ALL ANYWAY WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT AEROPLANES HE GAVE ME A GOOD IDEA NOW I'M QUITE SURE THAT IF YOU WERE ABLE TO RESCUE THE DRAGON WHICH WOULDN'T BE THE LEAST BIT EASY HE'D LET YOU RIDE HIM MOST ANYWHERE PROVIDED YOU WERE NICE TO HIM OF COURSE HOW ABOUT TRYING IT OH I LOVE TO SAID MY FATHER AND HE WAS SO ANGRY AT HIS MOTHER FOR BEING SO RUDE TO THE CAT THAT HE DIDN'T FEEL THE LEAST BIT SAD ABOUT RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME FOR A WHILE
