Once upon a time, in a land long ago, the dinosaurs roamed free. One day, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Pterodactyl, Brontosaurus, and Ankylosaurus decided to have a race to see who was the fastest of them all.

The race began, and Stegosaurus was off to a great start with its strong legs and bony plates. But then, Triceratops charged past it with its sharp horns, leaving Stegosaurus far behind.

Next, Parasaurolophus passed Triceratops with its long neck and quick stride. But then, Pterodactyl flew by with its wings and took the lead.

Brontosaurus was lumbering along, taking its time. Ankylosaurus was at the back with its heavy tail and armor. Suddenly, a huge rock appeared in front of Pterodactyl, and it plummeted to the ground.

Brontosaurus took advantage of this and lumbered past, followed by Ankylosaurus who swung its tail and whacked Pterodactyl out of the way.

And so, to everyone's surprise, Brontosaurus and Ankylosaurus crossed the finish line together, tied for first place! The other dinosaurs cheered and congratulated the unlikely winners.

From that day on, they all learned to never judge a dinosaur by its size or appearance, for you never know what hidden talents it may have.

1. Who were the dinosaurs in the race?
2. Who was the surprising winner of the race?
3. Why did the other dinosaurs cheer for the winners?
4. What did the dinosaurs learn from the race?
5. Who was the fastest dinosaur at first?
6. Why did Pterodactyl fall to the ground during the race?
