Once upon a time, there was a dinosaur named Rex. Rex was a big, green dinosaur who loved to play all day long. But when it was time for bed, Rex had trouble listening.
Every night, Rex's parents told him to go to bed, but he would roar and stomp his feet. He didn't like going to bed because he wanted to stay up and play some more.
One evening, Rex's mommy had an idea. She read him a story about a dinosaur who had magical dreams when he listened before bedtime. Rex was curious and wanted to have magical dreams too.
So, Rex climbed into his cozy dinosaur bed and closed his eyes. He listened to the sounds of his room, the soft snoring of his stuffed animals, and the gentle humming of the night outside.
As he listened, Rex felt himself getting sleepier and sleepier. He slowly drifted off to sleep and began to dream magical dreams of flying through the sky, meeting friendly dinosaurs, and exploring new lands.
The next morning, Rex woke up feeling refreshed and happy. He realized that listening before bedtime made his dreams special and magical. From that day on, Rex always listened to his parents and happily went to bed on time.
