# C09 · Complete teaching source

Complete original story: Lila wanted visitors to find her paper dragon. She wrote DRAGON over its little box. Then the lamp in the story went out. Lila heard tap, tap from the shelf and pictured the dragon tiptoeing away. Her brother Ren held a spare paper sign and said, “We could put this by the box.” The story ends before anyone checks the shelf.

## Staff possible reasoning

The lamp going out and tap, tap can suggest a mysterious mood. Lila imagining the dragon moving is her thought, not a recorded moving dragon.
