Once upon a time, in a land filled with giant dinosaurs, a group of friends - a parasaurolophus, brontosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaurus, stegosaurus, and a pterodactyl - went on an adventure. They stumbled upon a magic cave that granted them each a wish. The parasaurolophus wished for a long trumpet nose, the brontosaurus wished for massive size, the triceratops wished for three horns, the ankylosaurus wished for armor all over its body, the stegosaurus wished for plates on its back, and the pterodactyl wished for wings.

But their wishes didn't go as expected. The parasaurolophus' trumpet nose made it hard to eat. The brontosaurus was so huge, it couldn't fit through doors. The triceratops' three horns got in the way of everything. The ankylosaurus was so armored, it couldn't move. The stegosaurus' plates made it hard to sleep. And the pterodactyl's wings were too heavy to fly.

So they decided to reverse their wishes and learned to embrace what made them unique. They lived happily ever after, playing and adventuring together in their own special ways!
