31 " I need to stretch my wings,” Daisy said. "
32 " I need to find a tree to sharpen my claws,” Tilly growled. "
33 " I need to keep dancing,” Betty muttered and giggled. "
34 " A full moon shone high in the sky. Its silvery beams painted the water in luminescent beauty.They all turned their heads when Ursa stepped onto the beach. She walked over to them and said hello. They didn't see her every night, only when the moon was full. "
35 " Lulu peered around the corner of the parlor in her mistress’ home, reluctant to enter. Being a two-foot-tall, multi-colored dragon who could no longer fly, Lulu’s main job in the elegant house was to light the fires in the hearths. "
