"How about the camel?" said Lazar.
The dragon turned into the two-humped brown camel.
"Phooey!" said Lin Pey.
"O.K.," said Vera, "so what do you want?"
Lin Pey thought for a moment.
"How about a meadow?" he said. "A soft lawn of green grass, the sky is blue, and there are a few white clouds...."
"Clover is blooming," said Lazar. "Smell it."
Brunei reclined on the soft green grass. The smell of the earth beneath him was warm and moist. "A few apple trees here and there," he said, and there was shade.
"Look over the hill!" said Lazar. "There's the dragon!"
"Will you please get rid of that dragon?" snapped Brunei.
