Thomas went inside the shop and was looking at the various dragon eggs. Since he did not know anything about dragons and their eggs, he chose one that had a pleasing color pattern to his eyes. A red and yellow striped egg was placed in his cart along with anything that he thought he might need for a dragon. He then decided to get a soft bed for the egg and found one that had a heating element in it as well as being able to close it up to keep heat inside. As he headed out, Barnum handed him a book about dragons and their care. he thanked Barnum as he left the store.

His next stop was at the Generall Store where he made sure that he had enough shirts and jeans as well as other items that he felt was needed. He would read the book ;ater but right now he wanted to get some sweets. He saw the Wand Shop next door and decided to get a wand kit as well. He might as well learn how to use it so he would know at least as much as the students.
