The story Summary.
Planet Dratix inhabitants are just Dragons! The tale focuses on the Draghicci family, composed by a dad, a mummy and six baby dragons. Mummy is a light blue dragoness with red spots on her back and a pink belly; daddy is green with a yellow crest and red eyes . All the brothers are orange with yellow bellies and wings except LUIGINO!
Luigino is a sky blue baby dragon with no wings. All his brothers spit great flames of fire, Luigino spits ice cubes!

Luigino’s life is not so easy because of his amazing diversity: he can’t joke and play with his brothers as they criticize and make fun of him all the time. Lugino is very very sad.

One day, Luigino meets Saggiodrax, the whisest Dragon living on the Planet Dratix. Saggiodrax tells Luigino about when he was just a little dragon: he could not fly high because one of his wings was smaller than the other; all his friends mocked at him. Fortunately the things have changed in the long run and troubles finally disappeared: Saggiodrax is now one of the most important and respected dragons on Dratix. Luigino becomes more confident and goes home.

The school begin for Luigino and his brothers. They attend “Dragoncelli” School but the situation is not better. All the student dragons mock at Luigino and nobody wants him as a friend: he always spoils their games, he can only spit ice.

The day comes of the first Dragology test but only Luigino has studied for it. His brothers are very envious; they stole Luigino’s paper and they destroy it with a gust of fire. Luigino is punished by the teacher because he can’t present his work.

Luigino doesn’t try to defend himself nor he doesn’t accuse his class mates; the other dragon pupils are not so glad about what is happening to Luigino; on the contrary they are very impressed by his ice tears; Luigino remains alone in a class corner.

Suddenly, loud screams come from outside the school: all the dragons are desperately escaping.
“Dreams of Fire” local volcano is coughing, is waking up after a sound sleep. All the little pupil dragons, all the Dragons on Dratix are in a big danger!

Luigino is the only dragon who is not afraid. He knows he has the solution for the problem!
“Do not worry” – he says to the other pupils. He spits enormous rays of ice which build a wall in front of the incandescent lava. Planet Dratix and all the inhabitants are out of danger.

Luigino’s brothers are very surprised. They find it hard to realize that Luigino saved their lives.
All the people in Dratix apologize and the Dragons leader organizes a big party to thank Luigino: everyone is important in a community.

Luigino is really happy and… as a wonderful surprise… brand new wings are sprouting in his body!!!
