What is the plot of the smallest dragon?

Answer 1

A boy named Keevan, who is a candidate for Ramoth's latest clutch in Benden Weyr. Keevan is shorter than the other candidates, and is teased about this by a boy named Beterli, who has stood for eight Impressions and has not been chosen. Keevan works hard but his size downgrades his abilities to most. When he overhears some of the senior dragonriders talking about dropping some of the younger candidates from the Impression, he automatically thinks he will be dropped. The next day, when shovelling coal, he gets in a fight with Beterli, who says he will be dropped. Keevan is badly injured and is assured by Lessa that he will have other Hatchings. When the Hatching occurs, he manages to find his way to the Ground and Impresses a bronze dragon, named Heth. K'van and Heth later become Weyrleaders of Southern Weyr.
