#152: The Land of Echoes

Dragon Little and Dragon Father were on an adventure on a rocky planet. They were in search of a villain who had stolen the king’s crown jewels and was hiding in The Land of the Echoes, which was a maze of smooth, tall rocks. 

“Why is this place called the Land of Echoes?” Dragon Little asked as the two were walking between two huge rocks.

“Listen to this,” Dragon Father held up his finger, then yelled. “Echo!” 

The echo echoed back: “Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!” 

Dragon Little’s eyes popped open in excitement. “Echo!” She shouted. 

“Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!”

“Echo!”

“Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!”

“Echo!”

“Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!”

Dragon Little looked up at her father, a big smile on her face. “Let’s do it together!” she said, and then hiccuped. 

“Together! <Hiccup>! Together! <Hiccup>! Together! <Hiccup>! Together! <Hiccup>!” the rocks echoed back.

Dragon Little and Dragon Father laughed. Then Dragon Little hiccuped. 

“<Hiccup>! <Hiccup>! <Hiccup>! <Hiccup>!”

“It’s like the rocks are hiccuping,” Dragon Little laughed. “<Hiccup>!”

“<Hiccup>! <Hiccup>! <Hiccup>! <Hiccup>!”

“<Hiccup>!” she couldn’t stop herself. 

“<Hiccup>! <Hiccup>! <Hiccup>! <Hiccup>!” The rocks said. Then added, “Excuse me!”

Dragon Little and Dragon Father stared at each other. 

“Found him!” Dragon Father said. 

“Found him! Found him! Found him! Found him!”
