Martin the dragon is sad. He longs to fly, but his wings are just too small. He tries flying like a bumblebee, a leaf, and a cloud. But then CRASH! Its no use. What goes up, must come down, sighs Martin. Its up to the villages children to teach Martin how to go up and stay up through practice, imagination, help, and learning to believe in ones self.

Poor Martin, he's a big dragon but has only tiny wings and cannot fly. He tried to take inspiration from other things that fly, like bees. Maybe it's stripes that help you fly? Or maybe you need to be white and fluffy like a cloud? But nothing works, what goes up must come done.

But the kids of the village don't let Martin give up, encouraging him to flap his wings and build his muscles and suddenly, when he least expects it, he finds that if you believe enough, and try hard enough, you can achieve your dreams!
