"But, Ms. Lyn, I need my Owl," Harry whined. [line 2]
Ms. Lyn responded: "Sorry, Harry, there are several students who are afraid of owls in our class."  [line 3]
Harry sighed, "OK, but can I bring a dragon instead?" [line 4]
"Harry, that's a great idea. Our class loves dragons, and it will keep the classroom warm in the winter," Ms. Lyn replied excitedly. [line 5]
