Kitty and dragon are eating breakfast. Kitty is neat but Dragon is super messy. Then, Kitty washes her dishes but Dragon doesnt see them. He tracks dirt on the floor when he is walking. He splashes the toothpaste on the mirror. Kitty is too tired to clean the cave by herself so she decided to go away. She walks through the hills, swamps, and forest. She arrives at the potion shop. The fish is a magician. Kitty tells him that she want to let Dragon tidier. The fish adds a dishcloth to the pot, and a broom, a dustpan and some soup. He chants a magical spell. Then he pours the potion into a glass. Kitty is exciting because she can make Dragon tidier. Dragon suddenly sees all the awful mess. He washes the dishes again and again. He sweeps the floor, cleans the mirror, scrubs the tub, wipes the sink. Kitty is happy! But then Dragon grabs Kitty’s dishes before she finish her lunch. Oh no, poor Kitty.
