Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Up high in the green mountains, there lived a big, gentle Diplodocus named Dilly. Dilly loved to munch on sweet leaves. “Crunch, crunch, yum!” Dilly would say, smiling wide.

One sunny day, Dilly noticed a little Stegosaurus named Spike, all alone. Spike looked sad. “What's wrong, Spike?” Dilly asked with a soft voice.

“I can't reach the tall tree!” Spike sighed.

Dilly thought for a moment. “I can help! Let's work together!”

“Really?” Spike's eyes sparkled.

“Yes! Let's try!” Dilly stretched his long neck to the highest leaves. “Here you go, Spike! Crunch, crunch!”

Spike jumped with joy. “Yum! Thank you, Dilly!”

Dilly smiled. “Friends help each other!”

From that day, Dilly and Spike played together. They explored the mountains, munching leaves and laughing. “Crunch, crunch, yum!” they said together, happy and free.

And in the happy mountain, their friendship grew strong.
