Tommy loved to play with his toy dragon. He named it Spike and he liked to imagine that it was a real dragon that could fly and breathe fire. He would make Spike roar and flap his wings and chase his other toys around the room.
One day, Tommy's mom brought home a surprise for him. It was a big box with a bow on it. "What is it, Mommy?" Tommy asked, excited.
"It's a gift for you, Tommy. Open it and see," Mommy said, smiling.
Tommy tore off the bow and the paper and opened the box. Inside was a huge stuffed dragon, much bigger than Spike. It was green and chubby and had shiny scales and a long tail. Tommy gasped and hugged the dragon. "Wow, Mommy, thank you! It's a giant Spike!"
Mommy laughed and said, "You're welcome, Tommy. I thought you would like it. You can play with it and imagine that it's a real dragon, too."
Tommy was very happy. He put the giant Spike next to his bed and played with it every day. He imagined that they were flying over mountains and forests and having adventures. He still loved his toy Spike, but he liked the giant Spike more. He thought it was more fun and more real.
But one night, something strange happened. Tommy woke up and heard a loud roar. He opened his eyes and saw the giant Spike moving and glowing in the dark. He was scared and confused. He reached for his toy Spike, but it was gone. He looked around and saw that his other toys were gone, too. He saw the giant Spike's mouth open and fire coming out. He realized that the giant Spike was not a stuffed dragon, but a real dragon. And he was hungry. Tommy screamed and tried to run, but it was too late. The giant Spike snapped his jaws and swallowed Tommy whole. The end.
