The Lonely Long-Necked Dinosaur And The Fly
Brody was a long-necked dinosaur without friends. All the other dinosaurs didn’t want to be around him, but he never knew why. He went to the dinosaur playground everyday, and watched all the other dinosaurs having a great time. Why didn’t they want to play with him? He always wondered.
“Mommy, why don't the other dinosaurs want to play with me?” Brody asked his mom after returning from the dinosaur playground one day with teary eyes. “Is it because of my long neck? I’m the only dinosaur with a long neck in the playground.”
And he was right. His family were the only long-necked dinosaurs around. Their necks were so long they could reach the tallest trees and take a bite of the leaves on top of the trees without any problem!
His mom gave him a big hug and patted his head gently so he wouldn't cry as his eyes were already teary.
“They don’t know what a good dinosaur you are, Brody. Don’t be sad. One day you’ll find someone that’ll be your best friend. Someone who knows what a good dinosaur you are.”
Brody smiled. His mom’s words gave him hope. That night, he wished upon a star that he would find a friend. His mom once told him that stars contained magic, and they could grant wishes if the wishes were true to one’s heart. Would he get his own wish?
The next day, he jogged through the woods on his way to the playground when he heard a little cry. He stopped. Were his ears playing a trick on him?
He listened closely. The same cry rang out again. It was a low cry, and Brody looked around. Did some small animal get stuck in the bushes? Brody wasted no time at all! He moved closer to the sound until it got closer, and closer. It turned out the sound was coming from a small insect. A dragonfly, who was crying on a rock.
“Hello! Are you alright? What happened?”
Teary-eyed, the dragonfly looked up at Brody.
“Nobody wants to be my friend,” he said, “because I look awkward, with my big eyes and small body.”
Brody understood how it felt to be mocked for looking different. He smiled at the dragonfly.
“Don’t be sad. I’ll be your friend. My name is Brody.”
“You’re a weird-looking dinosaur, Brody,” the dragonfly said, grinning. “My name is Nate, but everybody calls me Big-Eyes.”
“Nice to meet you, Nate. Let’s go play!”
Brody and Nate became close friends, and most of the other dinosaurs mocked them. But Brody didn’t mind. He had found a close friend at last, and that was all that mattered. His wish had come true.
One sunny morning, Brody and Nate were having fun exploring the woods when Nate saw something. It was Annie the little T-Rex, the daughter of the big dinosaur chief. She was stuck in a tree. The two friends didn’t know what to do.
Annie was a meanie. She usually taunted Brody and Nate on the playground because of how they looked, and even told the other little dinosaurs to join her whenever she made fun of them.
“Help me! Somebody!” Annie cried out from the branches she was stuck in.
“We have to help her,” Brody said to Nate.
“Help her? Don’t you remember she made fun of us because of your funny-looking neck and my weird body?”
Brody remembered all the times she made fun of him, but something his mom once taught him about helping others came to his mind.
“Brody, if somebody needs your help, do what you can to help. It doesn’t matter who they are, or what they might have done. Remember, always be the better dinosaur.”
He looked up at the tree. What could he do to help? He had a long neck, but he was still a kid and it was a really tall tree with long branches. There was no way he could reach that far, and he might get stuck in the branches if he tried to climb.
“We have to help her,” Brody said to his friend Nate. “She might be a meanie, but she needs our help. My mom told me to always do the right thing.”
Nate nods. “That’s true. But it’s a very tall tree. How do we help her? I can fly over to her, but I’m too small to get her free.”
Brody thought about it for a moment. Then, he had an idea.
“I know! We’ll go call for help. But first we need to talk to her and find out how she got so high up there.”
“Leave it to me,” Nate said, chuckling.
He flew over to where Annie was in the branches. She was crying.
“Big-eyes! Help me! I’m stuck!”
Nate didn’t mind that she called him big-eyes. She needed help now, and that was all that mattered. He flew around the tree a few times before coming back to her.
“How did you get here?”
She pointed to the cliff above. “I was playing hide-and-seek with my friends and I decided to hide on a rock by the cliff. But I fell and landed in these bushes. I called for help, but there was no one here,” she explained, crying.
“Don’t cry, Annie. I can’t pull you out and Brody can’t climb but we’ll go get help soon. Just wait for us!”
“Okay,” she said. “Please hurry. The branches might snap anytime soon.”
Uh-oh! That didn’t sound good! If the branches snapped and Annie fell, she'd get hurt badly! Nate flew down to Brody so he could explain everything he had heard.
“Oh no! We have to get help soon!” Brody said after Nate told him everything that had happened.
“Yes, but where will we get help from?” Nate asked.
Brody fell silent for a moment, thinking. Who could get Annie from the branches so high up the tree? He wished for the first time in his life that he was taller and he had a longer neck. Then his eyes opened wide.
“That’s it! I know who to call!”
“Who?” Nate the fly asked, curious.
“Someone that can reach that high. You go call the chief and tell him his daughter is stuck in a tree.” Brody turned to Annie and called out to her, “Don’t panic, Annie. We’ll get you out soon!”
“Alright,” she shouted back and the two friends raced back to get help. Nate flew off to get the chief while Brody ran back home.
Brody’s mom and dad were having their breakfast when he ran back, almost out of breath.
“What’s the matter, Brody?” his dad askef as he panted after running the whole way.
“Someone needs our help, dad!” Brody pointed in the direction of the forest. “Annie the little T-Rex! She’s stuck high up in the branches of a tree!”
“Oh no! That sounds horrible!” Brody’s mom exclaimed.
He smiled, confident his dad’s long neck could reach the treetop easily and get Annie out.
“Come on, dad! Let’s go!”
Brody and his dad reached the forest where the T-Rex chief was already waiting with Nate. Brody’s dad nodded at the chief before turning to the tree. With his long neck, it was easy for him to stretch and grab Annie. He freed her from the branches and she got onto his head. Slowly he lifted her down and she went crying to her dad.
“Thank you very much, long-neck. You saved my Annie.”
Brody’s dad smiled. “You should thank these two.” He pointed to Brody and his Nate. “Without them, we wouldn’t have known where to find Annie.”
The chief looked at Brody and Nate. “You two have been very good indeed. Both of you deserve a gift from me. Well done.”
Brody and Nate looked at each other and grinned.
Brody’s dad patted his head and said, “I’m proud of you, Brody. You didn’t let what other people say get to you, and you did what was right.”
Brody faced his dad, smiling. He was happy he did the right thing.
Annie looked down, drawing on the sand with her foot.
“I’m sorry I made fun of you, Brody. I don’t think your long neck is weird anymore. I think it’s cool. Do you ... want to be my friend?”
“Sure thing, Annie!” Brody said, grinning.
Annie turned to Nate. “I’m sorry I made fun of you too, Nate,” she said. “You’re a cool fly. Let’s be friends.”
“Do you really want to be my friend?”
“Yes, I do!”
The three new friends smiled at each other.
From that day on, no one made fun of Brody’s long neck and Nate’s big head anymore. The other children, including Annie, began playing with them, and everyone had a great time. Brody now had a lot of friends, and he was a happy dinosaur.
Bennett The Flying Dinosaur
Along time ago, there lived a young dinosaur called Bennett. Bennett was a dinosaur that loved to have fun, but there was something he always wanted to do—fly.
“I want to fly like the birds in the sky. Soar so high, my oh my.”
That was Bennett’s wish everyday as he watched birds flying with so much freedom. How would it be like to travel through the endless sky and glide through the clouds he saw up above? He always wondered.
Every day, as Bennett played with his friends or walked round the forest, he glanced up at the sky and made that same wish. He wanted to fly so much that he would climb a tall mountain and sit at the top, gazing at the sky and wishing he would stay in the air if he fell from the mountain. But alas, he had no wings.
Oh, what he would do with wings! He would have a good time playing with the birds all day, and he could even explore the world. He could go to places he’d never been to, and see new dinosaurs he never knew existed in a short time! Also, he didn’t have to worry about getting home late once the sun was setting. Just a short flight, and he was home in time for dinner!
The birds flapped their wings and danced in the wind, gliding so well! It was like they were inviting him to play with them. How he wished he could join them and play in the air all day!
To Bennett, wings were a sign of freedom. Birds were free to do whatever they wished, and they seemed to enjoy themselves when flying. Down on the ground, Bennett felt he was trapped. He didn’t want to stuck on the ground all his life, but his short, stubby arms couldn’t carry him to the skies.
“Birds fly without any problem, so why can’t I?” he often wondered aloud, with sadness in his heart.
He knew he couldn’t fly because he didn’t have wings. A question never left his curious mind.
Where do birds get their wings?
One day, Bennett went for a drink at a lake. A flock of birds were dancing in the water, but they flew away as soon as he approached.
“Hey guys! Don’t go! I just want to get a drink!” he shouted, wishing they came back and allowed him to join in their fun. But they didn’t come back.
He watched the birds take off into the sky where they continued their little dance, and a tear dropped from his eye.
“Oh, I do wish I had wings like them, so I can join them in their dance above the skies,” he murmured with a sigh, fixing his eyes on them. “I hate being stuck on the ground.”
“Do you really want to fly that bad?” a voice asked Bennett. He looked round but he couldn’t see anyone.
“I do. Oh, I really want to fly!” Bennett answered even though he didn’t know where the voice was coming from.
“Down here,” the voice said. Bennett looked down and saw a little cockroach.
“Hello, Mr. Roach,” Bennett greeted the small cockroach when he saw him. “Do you know how I can fly? Please tell me if you do!”
Mr. Roach smiled. It looked like he had an idea.
“I think I know a way you could fly. There’s a friend of mine that could help. But he doesn’t like being disturbed and he doesn’t like young dinosaurs with bad manners, so you have to be nice. Make sure you don’t do anything that’ll make him angry,” Roach advised Bennett.
Bennett nodded, grinning. He was a good young dinosaur with manners so he was sure he wouldn't get Mr. Roach’s friend mad. He was very happy someone could help him with his dream of flying, but a part of him wondered how it was possible. Could Mr. Roach’s friend really help him fly as he hoped?
“Please take me to your friend, Mr. Roach!” Bennett begged, nearly beside himself with excitement.
Roach led Bennett across the woods and they walked for a long time. Bennett wondered where they were going, but he was too excited to worry. Maybe, just maybe, Mr. Roach’s mystery friend could help him fulfil his dream of flying.
“Here we are,” Roach said suddenly, stopping at the foot of a hill. “My friend is at the top of the hill. Good luck, young Bennett.”
“Thank you, Mr. Roach!” Bennett said, waving at Roach.
Bennett began climbing the hill, and it wasn’t a problem for him. He might not be able to fly, but he was able to climb and he was a good climber at that. As he reached the top, he noticed a huge creature perched on a ledge. It had a long neck, large wide wings, and a long, straight beak that looked sharp. Bennett noticed the back of its head was shaped like a horn. It didn’t look like the birds he was used to seeing, and he wondered what kind of animal it was.
He stepped on a branch, and it snapped. The animal noticed and turned to him.
“What’re you doing here?” the strange animal asked Bennett.
“Um, hello. My name is Bennett. Mr. Roach sent me here,” Bennett said, his heart beating fast.
“Roach? Why? What do you want, young Bennett?”
Bennett swallowed. Now was the time to tell the animal what he wanted—to fly. He had to be really polite, or this animal might get angry and fly away. That would be bad! If this animal flew away now, Bennett might not have a chance to fly again!
“I—I want to fly,” Bennett said timidly.
“You want to fly? But you don’t have wings!” the strange bird said.
“That’s why Mr. Roach asked me to see you. I’ve always wanted to fly. It’s been my dream to soar into the sky, but I can’t because I don’t have any wings. I was wondering if you could help, like Mr. Roach said you could,” Bennett said, his eyes pleading.
“I see. Well, you have a lot to learn, young Bennett. But you’re probably wondering what kind of dinosaur I am, aren’t you?” the animal asked as if he read Bennett’s mind. Or did he have that kind of power? Maybe he was a magic bird!
“I’m a pterodactyl and my name is Terry,” the animal continued. “Are you ready to fly?”
Bennett’s eyes lit up. Was Mr. Terry the pterodactyl really going to help him fly?
“Oh yes, Mr. Terry! I’d love that!” Bennett said, nearly jumping.
“Climb on my back. I’ll give you a little spin around,” Terry said, lowering his back.
Bennett could hardly contain his excitement. He was finally going to fly! He couldn’t believe it. He stood on the spot for a while before dashing to Mr. Terry. He jumped on the pterodactyl’s back, looking forward to a great time in the sky.
“Hold on tight, Bennett,” Terry said. But Bennett didn’t need to be reminded before he grabbed on tight to Terry’s long neck.
“Now, young Bennett, let’s fly,” Terry said as he unfolded his wings.
Wonder sparkled in Bennett’s eyes as he watched Terry spread his wings. He flew into the sky with a powerful flap, gliding higher and higher until they were above the clouds. Bennett’s heart soared with him, and he felt like he was on top of the world. It’s true he still didn’t have wings, but he enjoyed touching the clouds and looking down at the small trees and dinosaurs in the ground.
This was wonderful!
“Woohoo!” Bennett shouted. Terry laughed, gliding through the sky a few times before returning to the ground.
“That was awesome! Thanks, Mr. Terry! I really loved flying in the sky and touching the clouds!” Bennett said, grinning from ear to ear.
Terry smiled and helped young Bennett down. The pterodactyl turned to him and looked at him kindly.
“Young Bennett,” he started, his voice gentle yet full of wisdom, “flying is a very wonderful thing, but it’s just as special as other gifts. Each animal has their own special gifts, and no gift is more special than the other.”
Bennett sat on the floor and listened to Terry’s words, with his earlier excitement already fading away as Terry continued.
“Look at fishes, for example. When I was a kid like you I loved the ocean and wished I was a fish. Then I’d swim through all the oceans in the world and explore the beautiful ocean. But I’m not a fish. A fish cannot fly, and a bird cannot swim underwater.” Terry pointed at Bennett. “You have your special gifts as well. You’re a clever young dinosaur, and you’re polite. You can climb, and you can run. You may not have wings, but your strong legs make you a great runner. You just have to learn to love yourself for who you are.”
“Does that mean I’m special just as I am, even without wings?” Bennett asked. He never thought about what he could do that birds couldn’t.
“Of course! If I lose my wings today, I won’t be able to do anything like you!” Terry said, before pointing to his small legs. “Look at my legs. They can’t run as fast as yours. I can’t even walk well without stumbling! As you can now see, every creature has a special role to play in this world. Birds may fly high, but dinosaurs like you are special too.”
