[ WP ] When everyone turns 18 , they receive a pet which is figurative of their personality . You 're the first person to receive a dragon ...

My father received an Arctic Tern for his 18th. Makes perfect sense really. When I was younger he used to drag me along on long holidays, visiting every possible country he could whenever he had the time. 
 
 And my mother, well I do n't know for sure what she got. I do n't remember her, and father said she left to fight in a war and never returned. All I know is she was some kind of spider, but he would n't tell me what kind. Maybe it was a creepy tarantula or something! That would be a pretty cool Pet. 
 
 I do n't think I want one. Father would make me look after it. Imagine if I got something like a whale and had to spend all my time by the ocean. I mean honestly, sometimes I wonder why I ca n't just lounge in the sun all day. It's not like I ever need to do anything with my life. We have so much money, I could buy a small realm. Ugh, or what if I got something embarrassing like a pony or a butterfly. I'd never hear the end of it. 
 
 As my birthday rolled round I was getting a little excited imagining the possibilities. I could get a Bear that I could ride into battle on, or a giant Eagle who could pick me up and fly me wherever I wanted. Legend has it that some people got Unicorns, Griffins, and even Dragons! That would perfect. I could fly it around the sky and everyone would know how important I am. 
 
 Needless to say I was disappointed when I opened the door and did n't look up to see a half burnt parcel towering over me. Just an ordinary, boring parcel laying in front of me. As I opened it, my father came to the door and peered into the box. He patted me on the back and laughed `` Well you did want a Dragon''. I looked back at the creature in front of me and bent down to touch it. A giant Lizard is still pretty awesome.

 I'm not a good writer at all, this is super disjointed and does n't flow well, but I wanted to get the idea out.
