Dino Who Feared the Night
Large text for little eyes.
In the lush green valley of Dino Hollow lived Dippy, a tiny dinosaur with a giant imagination.
Every day, he stomped happily, chasing butterflies and splashing in puddles. But when the sunset came, Dippy’s bravery melted faster than a marshmallow near lava.
He shivered at shadows, jumped at crickets, and hid behind rocks at the hoot of an owl.“Oh no!” he’d squeak. “Something’s following me!”
His best friend, Tina the Triceratops, giggled. “Dippy, that’s your tail again!”
The other dinosaurs teased him gently, calling him the bravest dinosaur... until sunset!
Dippy sighed. “Maybe if I roar louder, the dark will get scared of me!” But even his best roar came out like… “Raaaaa-eee!”
The Night Lights Adventure
One evening, Tina and the gang invited Dippy to a sleepover near Moonstone Hill.
Dippy gulped. “sleep outside? In the dark?”
“Don’t worry!” said Tina. “We’ll bring snacks, songs, and glowing bugs!”
As the stars began to twinkle, Dippy clung to his blanket. “Everything looks different at night! Even that bush looks like a giant T. Rex with a bad haircut!”
Suddenly, a tiny glow floated past his snout. Then another. And another!
“What’s that?” he gasped.
“Fireflies!” laughed Tina. “They light up the dark!”
Dippy blinked in wonder. “So… the dark has sparkles?” “Exactly!” said Tina. “It’s not scary, it’s sparkly!” For the first time ever, Dippy smiled at the night
The Roar Heard Round the Valley
Just as Dippy began to relax, a strange rustle came from the bushes.
“Ahh! A monster!” he squealed.
The other dinosaurs froze. Out from the bushes popped a baby Pterodactyl tangled in vines!
“Oh no!” said Dippy. “He’s stuck!” Without thinking, Dippy rushed forward. “Hang on, little one!”
He bit through the vines, freeing the tiny flyer. The Pterodactyl chirped happily and nuzzled him.
All the dinos cheered. “You did it, Dippy!”
Dippy blinked. “I did? But it was dark!” Tina grinned. “Guess you weren’t afraid anymore!”
Dippy puffed his chest proudly. “Maybe I was too busy being helpful to be scared.”
Dippy’s Brightest Night
That night, as they all lay under the glowing stars, Dippy whispered, “The dark isn’t empty, it’s full of twinkles and friends.”
Tina nodded. “See? You just needed to meet the night properly.”
From then on, Dippy became the dinosaur who guarded the night, keeping fireflies company and helping lost critters find their way home.
Whenever someone said, “I’m scared of the dark,” Dippy would chuckle.
“The dark’s not scary,” he’d say. “It just needs a little light and a big laugh!”
And sometimes, he even roared just for fun, loud enough to make the stars giggle.
The End !
