Stories about dragons that breathe fire and fly through the air are just make-believe.

But some islands in the Indian Ocean are home to a very real reptile called the Komodo
dragon. This giant lizard can grow to be 10 feet long and weigh up to 150 pounds.
Komodo dragons don’t have wings, or smoke coming out of their nostrils, but they have
strong tails and a very nasty bite. A Komodo dragon has a powerful venom and knife-like
teeth. When a Komodo dragon bites an animal, the animal usually goes into shock and
dies quickly.
Although they can be dangerous, Komodo dragons usually don’t attack people. In
fact, in the past 35 years, Komodo dragons have attacked only five people. The
Indonesian people who inhabit the same islands as the dragons believe that the lizards
are special and should be treated with respect.

animal would probably .

B avoid Komodo dragons in the future

Game Day
The rain continued to pour throughout the gloomy Saturday afternoon. Lauren and
Henry were dressed in their dark blue uniforms. Lauren’s uniform had more dirt stains
than Henry’s did because she loved stealing bases and sliding into home. She was the
best base stealer on the team.
Lauren pounded her fist into her glove as she watched the rain fall in steady sheets.
Every couple of minutes, she would sigh loudly, which caused the window to fog up.
Henry was reading a comic book and eating an apple and some crackers. He kicked off
his shoes and grabbed a pillow from the couch.
“Aren’t you worried?” Lauren asked him. “What if it doesn’t stop raining?”
“I hope it rains all day,” Henry said. “I’m having a great time, and besides, we can play
next week. This is the final issue of Captain Smoke.”
The telephone rang. Henry and Lauren nervously looked at each other. Their mother
answered it. “Hello, Coach Donna,” she said. After a short pause, she said, “Okay, I’ll let them know. We’ll see you next week.”
