"there goes the giggle box, " said john. she hated john. but that wasn't the worst part of the book. in the end, the spider died. dana couldn't stop crying. and she thought it was so silly, too, because in real life she didn't even like spiders! she squashed them all the time. john called her a leaky faucet. "somebody better call a plumber ' to fix the leaky faucet, " he said. she laughed through her tears. she hated john. once in music, they had learned a song about a dragon. when the song begins the dragon is very brave, but then he loses his only friend, so he isn't brave anymore. he just goes back to his cave, where he is sad and lonely for the rest of his life. the song always made dana cry. every interval john and joe would chase after her, singing it. she'd run across the playground with her hands over her ears and tears falling down her face. the bell rang. lunch was over. dana nervously walked up the stairs to mrs. jewls's room. mrs. jewls would start a new book today. she hoped it wouldn't be funny or sad. she hoped mrs. jewls would read a dull story with no jokes. when she got to class, john and joe were standing by her desk waiting for her. "happy birthday, dana, " said john. he was holding a present. it was wrapped in green paper and had a pink bow. "but it's not my birthday, " said dana. "well, that's okay, " said john. "you can have it anyway. since i'm always teasing you." he and joe smiled. dana eagerly tore off the wrapping paper. maybe john wasn't so bad after all, she thought. it was a box of tissues. john and joe laughed hysterically. "that's not funny! " said dana. she raised her fist and started to chase after them.

ХОХОТУШКА, ПРОТЕКАЮЩИЙ КРАН И СИРЕНА

Каждый день после обеда миссис Джулс читала классу рассказ. Дана ненавидела рассказы.

Последняя книга, которую читала миссис Джулс, была рассказом о свинке и пауке. Свинка была очень милой, а паук - очень мудрым.

Дана считала, что это ужасная книга. Уж слишком много Дана смеялась из-за нее. Все остальные тоже смеялись, но проблема была в том, что Дана продолжала смеяться еще долго после того, как все остальные в классе переставали. Это было очень неловко. А иногда она начинала смеяться над эпизодом, который даже не был смешным, а просто она вспоминала что-то смешное, что случилось раньше.

Джон назвал ее хохотушкой. От этого она стала смеяться еще больше.

Однажды она рассмеялась посреди теста по арифметике, потому что вспомнила что-то смешное, сказанное свинкой.

— Вот хохотушка, — сказал Джон.

Она ненавидела Джона.

Но это была не самая худшая часть книги. В конце паук умер.

Дана не могла перестать плакать. И еще она подумала, что это так глупо, потому что в реальной жизни пауки ей даже не нравились! Она всегда давила их.

Джон обозвал ее протекающим краном. «Кто-нибудь, вызовите сантехника починить протекающий кран», — сказал он.

Она засмеялась сквозь слезы. Она ненавидела Джона.

Однажды на уроке музыки они выучили песню о драконе. В начале песни дракон был очень храбрым, но потом он теряет своего единственного друга и перестаёт быть храбрым. Он просто возвращается в свою пещеру, где грустит в одиночестве до конца жизни.

От этой песни Дана всегда плакала. Каждую перемену (между уроками) Джон и Джо гонялись за ней, напевая эту песню. Она бегала по детской площадке, прикрывая уши руками, и слезы текли по ее лицу.

Прозвенел звонок. Обед  закончился. Дана нервно поднялась по лестнице в кабинет миссис Джулс. Сегодня миссис Джулс должна была начать новую книгу. Дана надеялась, что книга не будет смешной или грустной. Она надеялась, что миссис Джулс прочтет скучный рассказ без шуток.

Когда она пришла в класс, Джон и Джо стояли у ее парты, поджидая ее.

— С днем ​​рождения, Дана, — сказал Джон. Он держал подарок. Тот был завернут в зеленую бумагу и перевязан розовым бантом.

— Но сегодня не мой день рождения, —сказала Дана.

— Ну, и ладно, — сказал Джон. — Возьми его в любом случае. За то, что я постоянно дразню тебя.

Он и Джо улыбнулись.

Дана с нетерпением разорвала упаковочную бумагу. Может быть, Джон не такой уж и плохой, подумала она. Это была коробка  бумажных салфеток. Джон и Джо истерически захохотали.

— Не смешно! — сказала Дана. Она вскинула кулак и погналась за ними.
