Legend of the Deerhurst  Dragon.

The dragon of Deerhurst had
waterproof scales and razor sharp teeth and ate farm animals. He breathed fire wherever he went CRACKLE CRACKLE! A farmer John Smith was walking around his barbed wire fence when he noticed a black rock next to a river. He thought it was a normal rock but left it in peace.The next day his cattle had disappeared , there was no sign of fire marks or huge footprints. John carefully poured all the gallons of milk he owned into the trough and waited for the dragon -the dragon picked up the scent of the milk and drank it. After two seconds the dragon dozed off and John quietly sneaked
next to the dragon  and picked up the axe and killed the beast!
