Dino Learns to Be Brave

Once upon a time, there was a little dinosaur named Dino. Dino lived in a green valley. Dino was happy, but he was also scared of many things!

One day, Dino's mom asked him to get berries from the Whispering Woods. "But Mom," Dino said, "The Whispering Woods is scary!" Mom smiled and said, "Don't be scared, Dino. Be brave!"

Dino went into the woods. The trees were big, and the leaves made whispering sounds. Dino thought he saw monsters. He was scared.

Suddenly, CRACK! Dino jumped behind a big plant. He saw a little bird. The bird broke a twig. Dino said, "It's just a bird. I don't need to be scared."

Dino kept walking. He thought about his mom's words. He saw the sun and smelled the flowers. The woods were pretty! He saw butterflies and heard birds singing.

Dino found the berries. He filled his basket. He turned around to go home. He felt happy! He was not scared anymore!

Dino walked home with berries and a smile. He learned that the things he was scared of were not so scary. Dino was careful, but not afraid. Sometimes, our fears are only in our head.
