The biggest dinosaur in the forest was the T-Rex — a huge head, sharp teeth, two tiny arms. When he walked the ground shook — thud! thud! — and one roar sent everyone running!
And there was a long-necked Brontosaurus, big as a hill, yet ever so gentle. With his long neck he'd pluck leaves from the tall trees and share them with all the little ones.
One day the T-Rex planted himself in front of the Long-Neck. Puffing out his chest, he roared — "Everyone fears me! You bow your head too, or else—!" ROAAAR! The birds shot off the trees in a flurry.
But the Long-Neck wasn't scared one bit. Looking back with calm eyes, he held out a juicy leaf instead — "Don't shout, friend. Would you like one?" The T-Rex was stunned — no one had ever done that before!
Evening fell. Everyone laughed and chatted around the Long-Neck. And a little way off, in the dark, the T-Rex sat all alone. Inside, his chest felt strangely empty.
Next day a big storm dropped a heavy tree across the little ones' path. Even the Long-Neck couldn't budge it. Then the T-Rex stepped up — bracing his strong legs, he heaved with all his might and shoved the tree aside! Everyone stared in amazement.
From that day the little ones no longer feared the T-Rex — they loved him. Sitting beside the Long-Neck, the T-Rex smiled and said, "What roaring never won me, a little kindness did."
