An Unexplained Visitor!
Yesterday, an extraordinary event occurred at a school in Leyton, London.

George Mitchell School had a very unusual visitor in the form a dragon.

Police arrived at the school at 2:15pm after receiving a number of calls from local residents reporting that there was a dragon in the school’s main playground.

Disbelief

When the police arrived they found a blood red, 13ft dragon casually standing in the playground, leaning over the gates to chew at the leaves of nearby trees. Staff and students were watching in disbelief from the safety of the school building.

During the schools lunch break students had begun shouting out ‘there’s a giant dragon’ in the canteen. However, staff ignored this, mistaking their cries for some kind of prank.

Mrs Jeffrey, the school’s headteacher, said ‘It was unusual for the students to be shouting like this, but their claim was so outlandish we ignored it at first. It wasn’t until one of the staff members came running into the office, frantic as a chicken, claiming that there really was a dragon on the school premises that we took the claim seriously.’
Experts have taken the photograph to for a thorough examination.

Stench

Local residents were the first to realise something very unusual was going on. One neighbour said, ‘I went out to hang my washing and could smell something awful. The stench was like horse manure. I looked around, but couldn’t see any horses. Then I heard a huge roaring sound. It was as loud as a clap of thunder.’

Another passer-by was struck by the dragons hideous appearance. ‘He had these flaming eyes that were red-hot like the sun. I’ve never seen anything like it!’

Expert opinion

Experts were escorted to the scene to examine the creature, but by the time they had arrived there was no trace of the dragon at all. Professor Flyer of the Prehistoric Creatures Association is still sceptical as to whether or not the dragon was merely a hoax. He claims, ‘a creature like this has not been seen for thousands of year. I believe that like I believe Elvis is still alive!’
