    In the heart of Dragonland, where fire was a part of everyday life, lived a little dragon named Drizzle. Unlike his friends, Drizzle was unable to breathe fire. He tried and tried, but all he could puff out were tiny smoke rings.

    Drizzle felt out of place. He watched his friends spew out brilliant flames, lighting up the night sky, while he sat quietly, his mouth full of smoke and not a spark of fire.

    One day, a wise old dragon named Whistler visited Dragonland. Drizzle, eager to know if there was a cure for his condition, approached Whistler. He shared his woes and asked if he could ever breathe fire like his friends.

    Whistler listened patiently and told Drizzle, "Not all dragons breathe fire, young one. Each dragon is unique, and so are you. You just need to discover your special ability."

    Drizzle was puzzled. He had always thought all dragons could breathe fire. But now, he felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe he had a special ability that was yet to be discovered.

    Drizzle began his search for his special ability. He tried flying higher, running faster, and roaring louder, but nothing seemed special. Disappointed, he sat by the river, watching the water flow.

    Suddenly, he saw a baby bird fall into the river. Without thinking, Drizzle dived into the water and swam swiftly towards the struggling bird. He scooped it up and swam back to the shore.

    Drizzle was surprised at how well he had swum. He had never tried swimming before, but he was good at it. The baby bird fluttered its wings in gratitude, and Drizzle felt a warmth in his heart.

    Whistler visited Dragonland once again and was pleased to hear about Drizzle's exploits. He patted Drizzle on his back and said, "You've found your fire, Drizzle. It's not in your breath, but in your heart."

    Drizzle smiled, his eyes shining with joy. He had finally understood what Whistler meant. His fire was his courage and kindness, his ability to help and care. It was his own special way of shining.

    From that day on, Drizzle no longer felt out of place. He was proud of who he was. He understood that being different was not a weakness but a strength.
