A long time ago, in a land filled with tall volcanoes and lush green jungles, lived a small dinosaur named Tiko.
Tiko was a young triceratops with a bright orange frill and three little horns. He loved playing by the river, eating sweet leaves, and watching the clouds drift by.
But there was one problem—the other dinosaurs in his herd loved to fight.
“Use your horns, Tiko!” his older brother said, bumping into him.
“Strong dinosaurs fight to be the best!” said a big triceratops.
But Tiko didn’t want to fight. He didn’t like pushing, bumping, or crashing into others.
One day, while Tiko was picking the juiciest leaves, he heard a loud ROAR!
Tiko’s eyes widened—it was Rogo, the big T-Rex!
The herd of triceratops lowered their heads, ready to fight. But Rogo was too strong. He chased the herd, snapping his huge jaws!
Tiko’s heart raced. He had to do something—but not by fighting!
He looked around and saw a giant fallen tree near the river.
💡 An idea sparked in his mind!
Tiko ran as fast as he could, using his strong legs to push the big log right in Rogo’s path!
Rogo was running too fast to stop—THUD! He tripped over the log and rolled straight into the river!
SPLASH!
The water rushed around him, and Rogo struggled to get back to shore. He roared angrily, but then—he just walked away.
The herd was amazed.
“You saved us, Tiko!” his brother said.
“But you didn’t even fight!” another dinosaur added.
Tiko smiled. “Fighting isn’t the only way to be strong.”
From that day on, Tiko became the bravest dinosaur in the herd—not because he fought, but because he used his brain and kindness to solve problems.
And guess what? No one ever made him fight again.
