It is trash day and [NAME] insists on dragging the big bag out to the street. The bag drips, [NAME] trips on the step and trash goes everywhere just as the trash truck turns into the road. [NAME] and Dad scoop it all up in time, scrub up with a drink on a tray, and [NAME] draws the truck for Dad.

[NAME] and Mom take the train to see Gran. Trees zip past, a bump tips the drink all over the tray, and the long ride sends [NAME] to sleep: in the dream a dragon drives the train and drums on the roof. Then the train stops, and there is Gran on the platform.

[NAME] has a new drum and bangs it so hard that the cat runs and Baby cries, so Dad puts it up on the shelf. But everything is a drum: a pot, a tray, the trash bin, even the bath. Then Dad shows [NAME] a trick, tap tap tap, soft, and Baby claps. The whole family marches with the drum.

After a dream about a dragon in the garden tree, [NAME] builds a trap: a box, a stick, a snack and a drink. Snap! It catches the dog (drool), then the cat (hiss), then [NAME]. At last a tiny dragonfly lands on [NAME]'s nose. [NAME] lets the little dragon fly, and draws it instead.

It is the day of the big run at the park and a shiny trophy waits on a tray. [NAME] and the dog set off past the tree, then the rain drips down, the path turns to mud and [NAME] trips. Splat! The dog licks [NAME] up, and they march through the mud to the end together: a trophy for [NAME], and a big lick of it for the dog.
