Achilles in the Dragon's Lair
Once upon a time, there was Achilles, a small dog with a determined stride and a big heart.
One day, he received a very special mission: to go to the mysterious Dragon's Lair of Shem, where magic, colors, and enchanting scents reign. As soon as he arrived, Achilles pricked up his ears and sniffed the air: it smelled of sacred woods, dreams, and adventures.
Everywhere, there were stones that shone like fallen stars and colorful threads that wove invisible stories.
The Dragon welcomed him with a smile:
— “Welcome, little traveler!
Life here flows quickly and is full of wonders.
Are you ready to experience the magic?”
Achille wagged his tail vigorously.
He was always ready for an adventure!
So he began to explore every corner of the lair:
he jumped between the boxes, watched Shem's hands creating luminous jewels,
and ran happily as if every step ignited a spark of light.
Everyone who met him couldn't help but smile.
"Achilles is going full blast!" laughed the Dragon, watching him move like a little golden lightning bolt.
Every day, Achilles brought a little joy to those around him.
It was as if his tail, with every wag, swept away worries
and left a hint of happiness in the air.
Even the stones seemed to shine brighter as he passed by,
as if they recognized his gentle energy.
In the evening, when the sun set and the lair filled with silence,
Achilles curled up peacefully.
He had learned the greatest secret:
that true magic lies not in dragons or stones,
but in those who know how to bring light, affection, and a smile wherever they go.
And since that day, everyone who enters the Dragon's Den
says they still feel a small trail of happiness running through the rooms...
perhaps it's Achilles, who continues to wag his tail among the dreams
of those who believe in kindness and the wonder of the world.
Moral of the story
Even the smallest of hearts can bring great light.
A kind gesture, a wagging tail, or a sincere smile
is enough to change the energy of a place and the color of a day.
Because, like Achilles, each of us can become a little Dragon:
capable of transforming love into magic and presence into light.
A thought for Achilles
Tireless little heart, bringer of joy and guardian of smiles.
Wherever you go, you leave trails of light and laughter as light as the wind.
You have the soul of one who knows no fear, but only love—
pure love, which asks for nothing and gives everything.
In the Dragon's Lair you ran, sniffed, and dreamed,
you transformed days into adventures and silences into tenderness.
You are proof that happiness has four legs,
and that goodness, when it's sincere, can be felt even with your eyes closed.
Thank you, little Achilles, for reminding us that the greatest magic
is living every day with a wagging tail and an open heart.
