"Teach Triceratops," said the YFQ. "Triceratops tells tricky tales."

It was true that the Triceratops did know how to rhyme, and it lived close enough to the Beach to keep the spell working, so Elisabeth figured it was worth a shot. She recited the spell again, for the Triceratops' benefit:

"Chocolate, chocolate, come to stay
Don't wait for another day
All the raindancers want to play!"

The Triceratops attempts the Chocolate Chant "Chocolate, chocolate, come to stay
Don't wait for another day"
Everyone held their breath in anticipation, for the Triceratops was indeed doing quite well

began the Triceratops. Everyone held their breath in anticipation, for the Triceratops was indeed doing quite well. Until it finished with:

"All the raindancers
Want to be prancers!"

Elisabeth groaned and smacked her hand against her forehead. Neither the Triceratops nor the faeries could speak the Winsome Witch's words. She thought that the Gryphon might live close enough to Rainbow Beach to work the spell, but he only spoke in limericks. The Winsome Witch seemed to be the only citizen of Raindancer World who spoke in rhymed triplets, and she didn't seem likely to move back into the neighbourhood of Rainbow Beach any time soon. Elisabeth didn't know what to do. She didn't even know how much time she had left at Raindancer World and feared that she had to find an answer to this problem soon.
