THE FRIENDLY DINOSAUR
Yesterday at school our teacher told us a story about a friendly dinosaur. His
name was Dino and he lived in a cave near a forest. The other animals didn’t
like Dino because most of them were afraid of him. They thought he wanted to
eat them. But Dino could only eat vegetables and fruit. Poor Dino was the only
dinosaur in the world and he didn’t have any friends to tell secrets to.
One day Dino was whistling the music to a beautiful song when suddenly he
saw a fire burning in the forest. He saw the birds flying, the rabbits running,
the frogs jumping and all the little animals and insects trying to get away. It
was horrible!

Dino felt very sad but he knew that he was the only one who could do
something to help. He quickly ran to the river and drank as much water as he
could. Then he walked to the forest and the water onto the fire. The forest
wasn’t burnt and all the animals were happy. So they knew Dino wasn’t
dangerous and they wanted to be his friends. Dino left his cave and went to
live in the forest with the other animals.
