DRAGONS LOVE TACOS 2 SUMMARY

One day, a young boy looked around. All of his dragon friends were crying! The world had run out of tacos! If there is anything we have learned, we know that dragons love tacos.

 

The boy hops in his time machine and goes back to before the spicy salsa tacos were eaten. However, there were some troubles on his journey. He went back too far, accidentally changed the dial to diapers instead of tacos, and added salsa oil to the machine! 

 

By the end, he was able to take a taco back and plant a taco tree. As we know, dragons love tacos, but so do people!
