Grumpy Gnome Meets Positive Dragon

Grumpy gnome was always griping
Nothing good ever happens to me
I never win the lottery
No one invites me anywhere
I never get to go to parties

He was fantastic at looking at the worst side of everything.
if you gave him a free ice cream cone
He would lament the moment he would drop it.
If you gave him a new shirt, he would expect it to have a hole.

He was terrific at seeing every glass half empty
Then he met his dragon, an upbeat, positive, happy creature.
Dragon saw the good in everything; and mentioned it.
Grumpy gnome had a difficult time after this, staying grumpy.
