Teeth Of A Dragon
“Isn’t he great?” the mother asked amid clanging cymbals.

The mother searched frantically, calling out her son’s name. She passed grills barbecuing kebabs and performers playing folk music with pan flutes. In better times she enjoyed the ethnic celebration.
An intercom announcement prompted her to hurry to the admin office. Her child sat silently when she arrived.
“I got scared, Mommy. Did you see the dragon’s big teeth?”
