Well, I wrote one anyway.  As told to two real little boys one night
at bedtime.  They insisted on the ending.

Long ago the people of Laketown lived in houses on stilts over the
water.  Then a fierce dragon came and attacked the people and
scattered his fire over the town.  A brave archer fired his black
arrow at the dragon's weak spot under his arm, and he landed in the
water of the lake.  The dragon died but crashed into the middle of the
houses on the water.  It was so big, that when it rested on the bottom
of its water, its body was out of the water.  It was so big, the
people could not move it.  So instead they moved the town, and let the
dragon's rotting body remain in the lake.  The rain and the winds and
the sun rotted the body, and only the bones remained, sticking up out
of the lake white and ghostly between the pilings from the old houses.

There were two little boys who lived in Laketown.  One day they walked
down to the lake behind the houses and found an old boat pulled up on
shore.  The boat was filled with holes and water, but the boys worked
hard to patch it up.  They paddled the boat out to the old town, to
see the bones of the dragon.  The old pilings from the houses stuck
out of the water, and the boys carefully rowed the boat closer and
closer.

They paddled the boat right to the dragon's skull, where the teeth
were still sharp as daggers, each one as long as their arm.  "Let's
take one!" said the first little boy.  They paddled their boat closer,
and started pulling on a tooth.  They rocked and wiggled and yanked,
and the tooth fell into the bottom of the boat and stuck there into
the wood, standing upright like a statue or a figurehead.  The whole
skeleton moaned and shook and rattled.  Then it began crumbling into
dust as the power and terror of the remains of the great dragon Smaug
flowed into the stolen tooth.  The two boys paddled the boat away as
fast as they could, with the dragon's tooth casting a long black
shadow in the setting sun.

Even one tooth from a dragon has great power, and it began whispering
to the two little boys.  "Take me to the treasury of the King Under
the Mountain.  There I will show you great riches" But the first
little boy said, "It's telling us to make bad choices!"  And the second
little boy shouted, "Throw it away!"  So they threw the tooth into the
bottom of the lake, and lived happily ever after.
