Example of text:-
`When Mabel's dragon came for tea
Each afternoon at half past three,
He'd sniff & turn his long nose up
At apple juice poured in his cup.
He'd sulk & look down at his feet,
When given beans with cold roast meat.
He got so cross, one salad day:
"Rabbit food! Take it away!".....'
But when it is Mabel's turn to get cross, she teaches her dragon a valuable lesson & there is a dramatic change in his behaviour!
