The Dinosaur Who Lost Its Roar

Once upon a time, there was a dinosaur named Dizzy. Dizzy was big and green with tiny arms and a long tail. But there was something special about Dizzy – it had the loudest roar in all of Dino Land.

Every day, Dizzy would wake up and roar to say good morning to the sun. The other dinosaurs would hear Dizzy's roar and know it was a new day.

But one morning, when Dizzy woke up and opened its mouth to roar, no sound came out. Dizzy was shocked. It tried again, but still, no roar. Dizzy had lost its roar!

Dizzy was sad. It didn't feel like a real dinosaur without its mighty roar. So, Dizzy decided to go on a journey to find its lost roar. It asked all the other dinosaurs for help, but no one knew where it could be.

Grandpa Triceratops told Dizzy that sometimes, things we think we need, we don't really need at all. He said, 'Dizzy, your roar doesn't make you special. It's who you are inside that really matters.'

Dizzy thought about what Grandpa Triceratops said. It realized that it didn't need its roar to be happy. It was still a brave and kind dinosaur.

From that day on, Dizzy stopped searching for its lost roar. Instead, it focused on being a good friend and helping others. And you know what? Dizzy found that its true roar was the sound of laughter and joy.

So, my little friend, remember that what makes you special is not what you have on the outside, but what you have on the inside. And just like Dizzy, you can find your true voice by being kind and bringing joy to others.
