Once upon a time, there was a curious shark named Sam who loved to explore the ocean surface. He had a strong skeleton made of cartilage that helped him balance and steer through the water. One day, while swimming deep into the ocean, Sam stumbled upon a group of dinosaurs. They were so big and strange, it completely confused Sam. But he soon learned that they were friendly creatures, and together they went on many adventures discovering new things about their world. The end.

Reflections

1. What is cartilage used for in the shark's skeleton?
2. How does Sam balance and steer in the water?
3. What does Sam think about the dinosaurs when he first sees them?
4. What did Sam learn about the dinosaurs after spending time with them?
5. What is the story about Sam and the dinosaurs teaching us?
