Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived six prehistoric friends: Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus, Pterodactyl, and Parasaurolophus. They lived in peace and harmony until one day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest.

The race started and Triceratops was in the lead, with his three horns shining in the sun. But as he reached the finish line, he tripped on a rock and fell flat on his face! Ankylosaurus was next, but he was too slow and kept getting stuck in the mud. Stegosaurus tried his best, but he kept losing his balance and falling over.

Brontosaurus was up next and he was determined to win. He started running as fast as he could, but just as he was about to cross the finish line, he sneezed and sent everyone flying! Pterodactyl swooped in and tried to save the day, but he ended up getting entangled in a tree.

Finally, it was Parasaurolophus' turn. He didn't want to win the race, he just wanted to make everyone laugh. So, he did a funny dance and made all of his friends smile.

In the end, they all realized that winning wasn't important, it was the laughter and fun they had together that really mattered. And so, they all lived happily ever after, always making each other laugh. The end.

Reflections

1. Who won the race?
2. Why did Parasaurolophus do a funny dance instead of trying to win the race?
3. What did the friends learn at the end of the story?
4. Can you think of a funny dance to do like Parasaurolophus?
