A poor thing

I'm a poor girl
(says Ruby)
because I've got a sore throat.

Another poor thing
is a monarch butterfly
lying on the ground
with one wing bruised.

Dragon

I'm sorry I didn't bring
my new toy, Dragon
(says Ruby)
but he had a panic attack.

He lost his voice
and it's far far away
in the North Pole.
So it won't be back
till the weekend.
