"On Dragon Island, it's very hot today. The place is boiling. The little dragon Coconut, the hedgehog Matilda, and Oscar the gluttonous dragon are sitting in their treehouse. Matilda looks at her book and sighs. 'With this heatwave, I can't read or think,' she says.
'When there's a heatwave, we have holidays! And we close the books!' says Oscar.
'Ha, ha, very funny,' says Matilda, sulking. 'Only the school closes because of the heatwave. The reading assignments don't stop.'
'And what are you reading now?' asks Coconut.
'I have to write a paper on Aristotle, a Greek philosopher from antiquity.'
