1. Meanwhile Hiccup was being thrown this way and that inside the
Dragons throat as it shook its head from side to side. He was trying
desperately to hang on to the spear, which was in danger of becoming
dislodged any second.

1.What, in Wodens name, are you doing? asked Fishlegs when he came
across Hiccup digging a large hole just outside the house. Building a mud
wallow for Toothless, panted Hiccup.
You spoil that dragon, you really do, said Fish-legs, shaking his head. Its
psychology, you see, said Hiccup. Its clever and its subtle, not like that
caveman yelling
youre doing with Horrorcow.
p.83-84 2
2.Okay, Toothless, its ready, said Hiccup. Get yourself a good. wallow.
Toothless stopped trying to catch voles and leaped into the mud. He rolled over
and over in the oozy muck, spreading out his wings and squirming happily. Im
bonding with him, said Hiccup, so hell want to do what I say.

Speech 1. It cant get much worse than this,
said Hiccup, so Im going to try a new tack.
He took out the notebook in which he had been jotting down all he knew
about dragons in the hope that it might be useful. DRAGON MOTIVATION .. .
Hiccup read aloud, Number one. GRATITUDE. Hiccup sighed. Number
two. FEAR. That works, but I cant do it. Three, four, five: GREED, VANITY, and
REVENGE. Those are all worth a try. six. JOKES AND RIDDLING TALK.
Only if Im desperate. p.93

Thought 1. . HEROES OR EXILES yelled
Gobber the Belch. HEROES OR EXILES yelled eighteen boys
fanatically back at him. HEROES OR EXILES yelled the watching Hooligan
and Meathead Tribes. Please let me be a bit of a Hero, just this once, Hiccup
and Fishlegs each thought to themselves. Nothing too spectacular or
anything, just to get through this Test. p.112

1. This is too good to be true, Hiccup said to himself ten minutes later as
Toothless returned from a second trip, clearly too bored for words but dropping
a couple of herring at Hiccups feet. In about half an hour, I, Hiccup, will
become a fully paid-up member
of the Hairy Hooligan tribe
.p.117 -118
3 2. JUST ONCE, yelled Hiccup. Why
couldnt you let me be a Hero JUST ONCE? I didnt want anything
amazing, just to pass this STUPID TEST so I could become a proper
Viking like everybody else.
Thors thunder boomed and crackled above him
blackly. OKAY, THEN, screamed Hiccup, HIT ME with your stupid
lightning. Just do something to show youre thinking about me AT ALL.

Speech 1. After about half an hour, Thuggory
said: Whatever youre thinking about to get rid of that monster better work for
both of them. Theres ANOTHER Dragon? asked Hiccup.
Thuggory nodded.
I went up to the Highest Point and spotted him while you were having your
chat with the Big Green One. OK, said Hiccup. Thats good news,
actually. Lets check out the new Horror.

Giganticus Maximus, this time a glorious deep purple in color and, If anything,
slightly larger than the one at Long Beach. The Purple Death, I
