In the big, green jungle, there is a little Triceratops. His name is Tino. Tino is soft, gentle, and very curious. He has three pointy horns on his head and a big, bumpy frill behind his head. Tino loves to walk in the tall, soft grass. He loves to look at the big, leafy trees.
Every morning, Tino wakes up. He stretches his short legs. He wags his little tail. He says, “Good morning, jungle! Good morning, sun!” The sun is warm and bright. The leaves shine in the golden light.
Tino likes to find new things in the jungle. One morning, he hears a funny sound. It is a little “flap, flap, flap.” Tino looks up. He sees a Pteranodon sitting on a rock. The Pteranodon has big, shiny wings and a long, pointy beak.
Tino smiles and says, “Hello! My name is Tino. What is your name?”
The Pteranodon smiles back. She says, “Hello, Tino! My name is Pippa. I can fly high in the sky!”
Tino's eyes are wide. “Wow, Pippa! You are very brave. I wish I could fly.”
Pippa flaps her wings. “You are brave too, Tino. You have big horns. You can help your friends.”
Tino feels happy. He likes to help. “Do you want to play with me, Pippa?” he asks.
Pippa nods. “Yes, let's play!”
Tino and Pippa walk together. They find a big, blue bush. The bush has round, red berries. Tino sniffs the berries. “Yum! These smell nice,” he says.
Pippa giggles. “Let's count the berries,” she says.
Tino and Pippa count, “One, two, three, four, five!” There are five berries. Counting is fun! Tino eats one berry. Pippa eats one berry too. The berries are sweet and juicy.
Suddenly, they hear a soft “thump, thump, thump.” Someone is coming! It is a big, green Stegosaurus. He has plates on his back and a gentle smile.
Tino says, “Hello! My name is Tino. This is Pippa. What is your name?”
The Stegosaurus says, “Hello! My name is Sef. I like to eat leaves.”
Tino and Pippa smile. “Would you like to play with us, Sef?” asks Tino.
Sef nods. “Yes, I would like that.”
The three friends walk together in the jungle. The trees are tall and the flowers are bright. They hear little bugs buzzing. They see a shiny blue river. The air is warm and soft.
Tino says, “Let's look for something special!”
They walk slowly. They look behind rocks. They look under leaves. Tino finds a little, shiny stone. Pippa finds a big, green feather. Sef finds a pretty, yellow flower.
Tino says, “Look, I have a shiny stone! It is smooth and cool.”
Pippa says, “I have a green feather! It is soft and tickly.”
Sef says, “I have a yellow flower! It smells nice.”
The friends laugh. They feel happy and safe together.
Suddenly, a big branch falls in front of them. The branch is heavy and blocks their path. Tino is brave. He says, “Let's work together!”
Tino pushes the branch with his strong head. Sef helps with his tail. Pippa flaps her wings and cheers, “You can do it, Tino! You can do it, Sef!”
Together, they move the branch. Now the path is clear. The friends clap their feet and tails. “Hooray! We did it!” they cheer.
They walk to a sunny spot. The ground is soft. The friends sit down together. Tino says, “I like finding new things. I like playing with my friends.”
Pippa flaps her wings. “I like flying and counting berries.”
Sef smiles. “I like eating leaves and yellow flowers.”
Tino looks at his friends. “We are all different. But we are all special.”
The sun is warm. The jungle is quiet. The friends close their eyes. They feel happy and safe.
Tino whispers, “Goodnight, jungle. Goodnight, friends.”
The jungle sings a soft song. The friends rest together, happy and cozy, in the land of dinosaurs.
