Exploring the Adventures of a Beach Dragon

The video features Mark Duplass reading 'When A Dragon Moves In' by Jody Moore. It tells the story of a boy who imagines a dragon living in his sandcastle. The dragon becomes a source of fun and mischief, but the boy's family doesn't believe in its existence. Eventually, the boy decides to part with the dragon due to its misbehavior. The story highlights the power of imagination and the importance of believing in one's own ideas, despite others' skepticism.
