Example of text:-
`When Mabel's dragon came for tea
Each afternoon at half past three,
He'd sniff and turn his long nose up
At apple juice poured in his cup.
He'd sulk and 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 and there is a dramatic change in his behaviour!
