A Bad Day! Dragon Gets By by Dav Pilkey


ONE WARM SUNNY DAY DRAGON WOKE UP VERY GROGGY.

HE DID EVERYTHING WRONG.

FIRST, HE READ HIS EGG AND FRIED THE MORNING NEWSPAPER. HE BUTTERED HIS TEA AND SIPPED A CUP OF TOAST.

Dragon opened the closet door instead of the front door and decided it wasn't morning yet. So he went back to bed.

But when he wakes again, he decides to get up and start his chores. The floor looks dirty, but after sweeping for hours, it only seems worse. When MailMouse rings the doorbell, she points out that Dragon's house has a dirt floor, so of course, it's "dirty." So Dragon shovels the loose dirt outside. Soon he has a huge pile of dirt in the yard.
"WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THIS DIRT?" DRAGON ASKS.

Dragon decides there's nothing to do with dirt but bury it. He digs a large hole and shovels the dirt from his floor into it. At last that's done. But then he turns around and sees a big pile of dirt.
"WHERE DID ALL THIS COME FROM?" DRAGON ASKS.

By now, Dragon is famished. But his cupboard is bare, so he drives up the big hill to the grocery store. Dragon is a wise shopper.
HE ONLY BOUGHT FOOD FROM THE FIVE BASIC FOOD GROUPS.

Dragon loads his cart with cheese crunchies from the dairy group, catsup from the veggie group, doughnuts from the grains group, and pork rinds from the meat group. And from the chocolate group he picks out fudge popsicles. Barely balancing all his food groups, Dragon staggers with his bags to the car. But it seems that when all the groceries are loaded, there's no room left for him in the car. What to do? The only choice is to eat all the food first.

It's one of those terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad days, in Dav Pilkey's Dragon Gets By: An Acorn Book (Dragon 3) (Scholastic Books, 2020), a delightfully silly noodle tale in which Dragon ends the day watering his bed and sleeping in the flower bed. Tomorrow can only be better!

  • When I first met PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, I was in the process of buying a Used Car, but after talking to him about my Credit we agreed to repair my credit. I am so glad I did, not only did I get a better credit score and bad credit removed, I was able to buy myself a brand-new Truck, not a Used one. I have never owned a New Vehicle in my Life. Thank you, Jesus, for putting Pinnacle Credit Specialist in my Life. I am referring everybody that I think needs help! Contact him by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM or call +1 (409) 331-2269.

  • Right from the start, I contacted PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, the representative answered all my questions, and explained everything to me. I decided to go with the 14-days program, and it hasn't been up to 7 days yet, and already two collections have been removed. The entire staff has been very helpful, kind, and efficient. I was very skeptical, asked lots of questions, and they were very quick to respond no matter what time or day, I have questions or concerns. I am very happy with the progress they are making with repairing my credit. I highly recommend Pinnacle Credit Specialist, they are no nonsense, quality driven, and they get results really quick. This is a legit company, they do not make empty promises, and they back up what they say they are going to do. Thank you, I really appreciate it. Hit them up by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM or call +1 (409) 331-2269.

  • So far, pinnacle credit specialist has been helpful & knowledgeable. As soon as I hired them right away, they helped get Comcast negative marks that were incorrect off my FICO score & they also removed one of the collections I got from an eviction due to my ex lying to me about actually paying the rent before we moved. It's not that expensive, only $1k and one-time payment, the most amazing thing is you can pay after they fix your credit and you get a credit card. Go for PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and save thousands on future loan rates. So far, I find it worth it because I’ve applied for a few cards which are in my wallet right now. Chase Sapphire- CLI $13,000, Chase Unlimited Freedom- CLIN $12,000, Marriott Bonvoy- CLI $9,000, AMEX BCP- CLI $35,900, Bank of America Unlimited Cash CLI $3,000. Experian score 794, Equifax score 800: FICO 8 792. Email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (409) 331-2269.

  • Low credit score affected me from being able to apply for a home in Wisconsin. Long story short, I closed out my ConEd account 2 years ago when I moved. I believe that I had paid my final bills, however, I didn’t realize that I closed it mid-cycle and still had a balance. I got a collection notice last month and saw my score drop from 818 to 661. I immediately paid off the remaining balance but I didn’t recover my score, until I came across this specialist called FIVE STAR CREDIT SPECIALIST. I never believed I would be able to get my scores back so fast until he proved me wrong. He helped me raise my credit score to 795 which has helped me to be able to purchase a home for my family. Contact him by email: fivestarcreditspecialist@gmail.com or call +1 786 600 4813.
