Give me the opening line of a story, and add, "and then the dragons arrived."

Standard: Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents. And then the dragons arrived.

A random mention in an essay about the short story that inspired the movie "A New Leaf" led me to this essay about the author Jack Ritchie.

I'm sure I'd love to read it again.
