Once upon a time, six dinosaurs named Ankylosaurus, Pterodactyl, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, and Brontosaurus lived in a jungle. They were the best of friends and loved to play together. One day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest.

Ankylosaurus tried to win by rolling like a ball, but he kept falling down and rolling into trees. Pterodactyl flew too high and got lost in the clouds. Stegosaurus ran so fast that his plates kept falling off and tripping him. Triceratops got confused and started running in circles. Parasaurolophus tried to use his long neck to reach the finish line first, but he kept bumping into trees.

In the end, Brontosaurus won the race by simply walking at a steady pace. The other dinosaurs were so surprised that they asked, "Brontosaurus, how did you win?" And Brontosaurus replied with a big grin, "I just put one foot in front of the other and kept going."

The end.
