A Quiet Morning

Ms Librarian Dragon stretched her glowing blue wings and yawned. Sunlight streamed through the massive windows of the Super Library, casting rainbow patterns across her orange hair. She adjusted her purple glasses and smoothed her red dress.

"Another peaceful day," she said, walking between towering shelves filled with fairy tale books.

The library's computers hummed quietly in the background. Advanced screens displayed checkout records and digital story archives. Everything seemed perfectly normal.

Ms Librarian Dragon picked up a book about Cinderella and smiled. She loved how all the classic stories had happy endings - heroes always won, villains always lost, and everyone learned important lessons.

A soft beeping sound came from one of the computer terminals. She glanced over but saw nothing unusual on the screen. The checkout system showed typical activity from Fairy Tale Land's residents.

"Probably just a routine update," she murmured, turning back to organize the returned books.

Outside the library windows, she could see various fairy tale characters going about their morning routines in the distance.

The Baker's Strange Report

Ms Librarian Dragon walked toward the library's front desk when the main doors burst open. A plump baker with flour-covered hands rushed inside, his white apron streaked with chocolate frosting.

"Ms Dragon! Something terrible is happening!" the baker gasped, catching his breath. His round face was flushed red from running.

"What's wrong, Mr Crumb?" she asked, setting down her stack of books.

"It's the Big Bad Wolf! He just delivered fresh cookies to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother instead of trying to eat her! And the Evil Queen gave Snow White a beautiful apple as a gift, not a poisoned one!" Mr Crumb wiped sweat from his forehead with a dishrag.

Ms Librarian Dragon's purple glasses nearly slipped off her nose. "That doesn't make sense."

"There's more! Rumpelstiltskin helped a miller's daughter spin straw into gold for free. No deals, no tricks!" The baker's voice cracked with worry.

Ms Librarian Dragon's blue scales flickered with concern. The soft beeping from the computer terminal grew louder behind her. She glanced back at the screens, which now displayed flashing error messages she hadn't noticed before.
