When his alarm goes off, interrupting his dream, he wakes up to find he has become a blue dragon. He learns what it is like to be different as he struggles through a typical school day. Once he gets home, he gets to enjoy the benefits of being different. Being a dragon teaches him that there are both joys and trials that come with being different.
