Favourite Activity:
Pebble's favourite activity, as mundane as it seems, is blowing bubbles. He will blow bubbles of all shapes and sizes using anything he can: from dishwashing liquid in a piece of twisted wire to soapy sink water shaped to perfection between his paws. This hobby can keep him occupied hour after hour, as if the bubbles put him under some sort of spell. I think he loves it because it's just him and the bubbles and nothing else matters, no one watching, no one caring. That's the way he likes it.
A story about him using the words 'can', 'magnet' and 'book':
The tiny bubbles drifted over the wall towards the tips of the trees. They barely tickled the tips before bobbing past, riding the air like a surfer rides the ocean waves.
A little brightly coloured dragon sat on a pile of books in the middle of the lawn, the spheres tumbling from the dripping bubble-blower he held up in a paw.
The little dragon watched the swarm blending into the blue sky and he slowly stepped down onto the ground.
"I wonder if I can make a really big one?" He pondered out loud and his copper eyes blinked.
Looking down at the grass, he dipped the bubble-blower into the bowl of rainbow-glazed liquid. He twisted it and watched his reflection distorting on the surface. Gradually lifting it up, he took in a large breath.
Then, stepping back up onto his little bubble-blowing tower, he breathed out. Very slowly, very steadily.
The bubble at the end grew, quivering and stretching as if a magnet were pulling it away from the stick.
The young dragon's eyes sparkled with muted excitement and concentration as the bubble continued to tremble and expand.
Then, he let his breath out with a quick puff. The bubble broke away and soared into the air like a baby bird flying for the first time. It hobbled along, veering drunkly but floating all the same. It was about the size of the little dragon's head and shone iridescent under the chuckling sun.
The dragon beamed and in his moment of elation, tumbled off his tower, a book smacking him on the head. The dictionary landed with a thunk beside him in the grass, falling open to a list of words that blinked disapprovingly up at him.
But he just grinned.
He'd just made his first big bubble.
