Winn-Dixie 7-8

Opal went to the pet store to get a red collar and leash for Winn-Dixie. She offered to work sweeping the floor, so she could get enough money to pay for it. The man at the counter said the parrot named Gertrude would not like her dog. Even though the parrot didn't like dogs it jumped on Winn-Dixie's head and they became friends. Opal got a job!

Opal was riding her bike with Winn-Dixie when she passed Dunlap and Stevie Dewberry's house; they followed her. Winn-Dixie ran into a yard and the boys told Opal the witch lived there! They said she was a witch and they said the witch eats animals and would eat her dog! Opal went into the house anyway, to save her dog and there she met Gloria Dump. She was nice and gave Opal a sandwich and they talked and became friends!
