A speech from a small guy,
older than should be,
adventures in his past
of a dragon and rings
Wish adventures in his past
surrounding dragons and rings,
this old guy is tired
of dramatic family things.
So he delivers a speech,
and he says what he wants
so earn a few cupcakes
and some Book Advantage points!

“Two in One” puzzles get you cupcakes times three.
Two colors, too: pink and magenta for this little spree.
