But They Are Different Than Me
In a medieval forest near a grand castle, young Jason faces a challenge of understanding and acceptance. When he meets a dragon with shimmering emerald scales, he must confront his judgments and learn the importance of tolerance.
Jason, a young boy of ten, wandered through the medieval forest near his home, a grand castle. He loved exploring, but today was different. He had heard tales of a dragon living in the woods, and he was determined to see it with his own eyes. Whispered stories spoke of its shimmering emerald scales. But Jason, skeptical and judgmental, thought, "But dragons should be fiery red, not green!" This was a problem for him. He believed that anything different wasn't to be trusted.
Jason finally caught sight of the dragon resting in a clearing. But when he approached, the dragon looked at him with wary eyes. " - Why do you stare at me so?" the dragon asked. Jason hesitated, " - I thought dragons were supposed to be red. You're... different." The dragon sighed, " - Many think that way, but my scales are just as they are meant to be." This was Jason's first obstacle; accepting that not everything was as he imagined.
Determined to understand, Jason spent days observing the dragon. Yet, each time he tried to get closer, the dragon would fly away. " - Why won't you let me near?" Jason shouted one day. " - You always judge me by my color," the dragon replied from afar. Jason felt frustrated. How could he get past this barrier of mistrust? He realized this was more challenging than he thought.
After several failed attempts, Jason sat by the river, feeling defeated. " - Maybe it's hopeless," he muttered to himself. He thought about giving up and returning to the castle. But the idea of leaving things unresolved bothered him. " - I just want to understand," he whispered, his heart heavy. He felt like he was missing something important.
One day, an old knight approached Jason as he sat by the river. " - A wise friend of mine once said, 'Understanding comes from seeing beyond the surface,'" the knight said. Jason listened intently. " - But how do I do that?" he asked. The knight smiled, " - Start by seeing the dragon for who it is, not what you expect it to be." This advice sparked a realization in Jason.
Armed with new understanding, Jason approached the dragon with a different mindset. " - I'm sorry for judging you by your color," he began. The dragon, surprised by his change of heart, replied, " - Thank you for trying to understand." Slowly, trust began to build between them. Jason learned that the dragon had incredible stories to share. In accepting the dragon's differences, Jason found a true friend.
