Everything was peaceful  and boring until one day a red dragon flew down from the sky shouting "The world is going to end! The world is going to end!"

"We've heard that one before" said the lion, with a bored sigh. "The chicken said the sky was falling, but nothing happened".

"It's for real this time. The world is coming to an end!" yelled the red dragon.

"How do you know" the others asked.

"A wizard told me" he replied.

"Then it must be true" they all said. "What shall we do?" 

"You can all climb onto my back and I'll fly you to another world" said the red dragon.  They all rushed to get on the dragon's back except the lion.

"I'm king around here and I'm not frightened of anything" he roared. "I'm going to stay here on earth".

"I'm going to stay too" said the tiger, getting down. "Tigers are just as brave as lions".
