A long time ago, in a lush green valley filled with giant trees and sparkling rivers, there lived a tiny dinosaur named Dax.
Dax was small, with bright green scales and a long tail. But there was one problem—he couldn’t ROAR like the other dinosaurs!
The big T-Rexes had loud, thundering roars. The triceratops made deep, rumbling sounds. Even the little raptors had sharp, fierce cries.
But when Dax tried to roar, all that came out was a tiny…
“Meep!”
The other dinosaurs laughed.
“You call that a roar?” giggled a stegosaurus.
“A butterfly is louder than you!” teased a pterodactyl.
Dax felt sad. He wanted to prove he was just as strong as the others. So one day, he decided to practice his roar.
🌿 First, he climbed on a rock and took a deep breath.
“Meep!” Still too small.
💨 Next, he tried roaring while standing on one leg.
“Meep!” Nope, still tiny.
🦖 Then, he asked his biggest, loudest friend, Rex, for advice.
“Just let it come from your heart!” Rex said.
That night, as Dax sat alone under the twinkling stars, he heard a rustling in the bushes.
Suddenly—a huge shadow appeared!
It was a giant T-Rex from another valley, and he looked hungry!
The other little dinosaurs trembled. They needed help!
Dax’s heart pounded. He took a deep breath… and this time, he didn’t think.
He just ROARED from deep inside!
“ROOOAAARRR!!”
The ground shook. The trees wobbled. Even the big T-Rex stumbled backward in surprise—then turned and ran away!
All the dinosaurs cheered!
“You did it, Dax!”
“That was the loudest roar ever!”
Dax beamed with pride. He finally found his roar—when he needed it most.
From that day on, whenever danger was near, the dinosaurs knew they could always count on Dax, the little dinosaur with the big roar!
