The invisible dragon was zooming over lake Wörthersee in Austria, not far from the Italian border. A series of little splashes caught his eye so he swooped down to take a peek at what was going on.
Doof, chick, doof doof, chick, doof, chick, doof doof, chick…
The enormous dragon was very curious, so he whispered quickly to the little fish while he was in the air. "What are you doing, friend?"
The little fish disappeared under the surface, then replied when he re-appeared a moment later.
Doof, chick, beatboxing! Doof, chick, beatboxing!
The rhythmic sounds coming from this little fish were good. Really good.
The invisible dragon had once met a little turtle next to the Nile who was filled with beautiful words. A talented, magical soul who was ready to end her time as a turtle. With a few magic words she had transformed herself into a human being.
The young dragon had understood much about magic in his short life, and he guessed that maybe now was a time for transforming, a time for the same magic words. As the little fish breached the surface again, the hovering dragon called to him. "Little fish, be who you truly are!"
The fish disappeared again, then resurfaced, still beating out the rhythms.
Doof, doof, What? Doof, doof, What?
Saying it twice is better than once. "Little fish, be who you truly are!!!"
On his next little flight, the beats were stronger.
Doof, doof, BE!!! Doof, doof, TRUE!!!
Magic happens in 3's. This time the invisible dragon let all his admiration for this brave little fish pour into his words. "Little fish, be who you truly are!!!!!"
Luckily, the lake was quiet and no-one was watching. If someone had been watching and listening, they would have seen and heard a beatboxing flying fish rise out of the water...
Doof, doof, WOAH!!!
…and a young man splash back down into the lake. He shook his head with surprise.
The dragon grinned an enormous invisible grin. That was fun. He called to the young man who was now floating on his back. "What's your name?"
The young man looked around for the source of the invisible voice. "My name is Christian. I used to be a fish. Who's that talking?"
The dragon knew his job was done, so he got ready to leave the scene. "I'm an invisible dragon. Welcome to my world, you'll love it here. Do what you do, and do it well, everyday of your life."
With a beat of his enormous wings the invisible dragon continued on to new adventures.
Christian floated on his back in the sun, and surveyed his new world. He thought about what new doors were now open to him. To accompany his thoughts on this brand new day, he began making little percussion sounds.
Doof, chick, doof doof, chick, doof, chick, doof doof, chick…
Christian is alive and well and beatboxing with his band the Chilli Fish
