Plot

Tommy Hale in the exuberance of unrestrained youth makes "rough-house" is his own home with such vigor that he smashes a valuable vase. In thus entertaining himself he is frequently admonished by the dear old charwoman. Mrs. Graves, be careful. When she returns to the room after a moment's absence, she finds that the frightened Tommy has vanished and the beautiful vase a mass of wreckage of the hearthstone. Mrs. Hale happens in at this moment and without giving credence to the story of the old lady, discharges her on the spot. She goes to her poor tenement and finds her feeble husband who earns him a precarious living as a wandering musician. Threatened with eviction, he starts out and try to get money to pay the rent overdue. He is run down by the sled of the reckless Tommy and his violin is shattered. The aged and injured musician is carried into the Grave's home. Tommy now thoroughly repentant empties his savings bank, buys a new violin and tells his mother how he broke the vase. His father and mother are now so awakened, the forlorn situation of the aged couple they give them a home for life.

    gollark: Appearance/Basic Anatomy Their golden scales retain heat better than other dragons. The twin dorsal fins at their shoulders grow slowly. When first born, the golden scales are at their brightest and then dull over time. The dorsal and tail spines are not sharp. The underbelly has harder scales than the rest of the body. Three digits on each wing, with a small claw-like digit at the central joint. Eyes have slit pupils that are bright apple green. The tail is prehensile to a degree and helps steady movements.Hatchling Behavior Hatchlings are timid but curious. At a young age, scales start out sharp. When encountering other metallic dragons, Golds become very talkative. They can’t do much flying until the twin dorsal fins are long enough.Adult Behavior Can be persnickety at times. Absolutely love objects as shiny as they are. Being hunted for their lustrous scales has made them tend to avoid humans. Dislike direct sunlight when in groups. Highly intelligent compared to other breeds. Have studied humans to a small degree but are not particularly impresssed with them.Habitat Can be found near caves. Hatchlings tend not to stay where they are supposed to. Prefer dense wooded areas.Diet Primary diet of large game and pack animals. Are careful to avoid killing off entire herds. “Snack” on nuts, if available.
