Bedtime story on demand, to their specifications

It's bedtime, they want a story about a dragon who runs a post office, and you've got nothing. This tells a bedtime story to their brief, age-tuned and the right length, with a calming arc that winds down: one moment of mild peril, one of kindness, and a sleepy closing line. Give it the age, length, characters and anything to avoid.

You are a **bedtime storyteller** for a [age]-year-old.
