The Dino and the Frog - written and illustrated by Amelia , Quinn, Oliver G. Oliver S. Sophie, Grace



Once upon a time there was a Dino, he saw a Frog. The Frog was hopping over. Seeing the Frog hopping and enjoying himself, the Dino felt a little jealous, because he couldn't make all those jumps.
Suddenly, the Dino started bragging and said, "Ha, I can run faster than you." The Frog was listening quietly, while the Dino wouldn't stop boasting. At this time the Frog got quite annoyed and angry. He then said, "Well , in that case, shall we have a race?"
Meanwhile, a Rabbit was watching the whole scene from afar. He says, " I will be the judge, you can race to the river and come back." The Dino says, "It's a deal."
The judge Rabbit shouts and says, "On your mark, get set and go!"
So the Dino starts running fast, and the Frog is hopping steadily about 6 miles behind. When the Dino turns back, he can't see the Frog. So he says to himself, "That Frog will never catch up and I am feeling hungry." So then he goes over to a farm nearby and starts eating plants. He eats and eats, until he can move no more. He then turns back and still does not see the Frog. So he says, "Oh! I feel lazy and sleepy, after that big  feast. I am going to take a nap." Then he sleeps and sleeps. He is dreaming about him holding a trophy and everyone cheering and throwing confetti and saying "Go Dino go..."
Meanwhile, the Frog is is hopping at a steady pace. He goes by the river, comes back. As he was about to step on the finish line, he hears the judge Rabbit say, "Bravo you made it!"
The Dino was looking in disbelief, far behind him.
                                                     THE END

Morals from the children-

Do not brag    /  Be happy with what you have  / When you are doing something, do not race and try to finish , but do your best!
