"The Reluctant Dragon" is an 1898 children's story by Kenneth Grahame, originally published as a chapter in his book Dream Days. It is Grahame's most famous short story, arguably better known than Dream Days itself or the related The Golden Age. It can be seen as a prototype to most modern stories in which the dragon is a sympathetic character rather than a threat.

I teach this to my fifth graders every year. The vocabulary is wonderful. It is an all-time classic!

I really love Mark F. Smith’s narration.
