Once there was a duck. His name was Doughy. He lived in a den. Doughy loved desserts, especially doughnuts and danishes. One day, Doughy the duck discovered a door in his den he’d never seen before. As he stepped through, the door closed behind him. He couldn’t unlock it. It was very dark, but he could see a dim light. When he found the light, he saw dinosaur. She was wearing a dress and was digging in the dirt. Doughy said, “What are you doing?” And the dinosaur said, “Oh, hi. I’m Dorothy. I’m so hungry. I’m looking for dinner.” Doughy said, “Dinner’s not down there.” Then he gets an idea. “But if you help me get back to my den, I will help you get some dinner.” So, they went back to the door, and Dorothy the dinosaur had an idea. “We could use this diamond to drill through the door!” And it worked! Back in the den, they had dinner. Then they had lots of doughnuts and danishes for dessert. Delicious! The end. D What D words did you find in the story?
