Dino the dinosaur was a playful Stegosaurus. He loved stomping and chomping on yummy green leaves all day long. But as the sun began to set, Dino started to feel a little sleepy.
His tummy rumbled. "Mama," Dino yawned, "I'm hungry!" Mama Dino smiled. "It's almost bedtime, little one. Let's have a tasty dinner of leaves and then get ready for sleep."
Dino munched on his leaves and then Mama Dino gave him a warm hug. "Time for bed, Dino," she said softly. Dino snuggled into his nest of soft ferns. He yawned again. "But Mama, I don't want to go to sleep yet! I want to play!"
Mama Dino chuckled. "Sleep is important, Dino. It makes you big and strong and ready for more fun tomorrow. When you sleep, you can even have amazing dreams!"
Dino closed his eyes. He started to dream. He dreamt he was flying high above the clouds with his best friend, Terry the Triceratops. They swooped and soared, laughing with glee.
In his dream, they landed in a field of giant flowers, bigger than Dino himself! Terry gently sniffed the flowers. "These smell delicious!" he said. Dino remembered his manners. "We should ask the flowers if we can have a nibble," Dino whispered.
A tiny little bee buzzed around the flowers. "Of course you can have a nibble," squeaked the bee. "There are enough flowers for everyone!" Dino and Terry happily munched on a few petals. They tasted like sunshine and honey.
Dino woke up with a big smile. The sun was shining. He felt rested and happy. "Mama, I had the best dream!" he exclaimed. Mama Dino hugged him. "See? A good night's sleep is wonderful! Now, let's go play!"
Dino ran outside to find Terry. They spent all day stomping and chomping and playing hide-and-seek among the giant trees. Dino remembered his dream and how much fun it was to be considerate of others, even little bees.
