4.11 Long, long ago - my project on dinosaurs  (Page 2/2)

Thunder part 1

When Thunder, the baby Brontosaurus dinosaur, hatched out of the egg, he was no taller than your ruler. His mummy was much, much taller than him. She bent down and sniffed, sniffed at her baby and thought, “He is so small! How am I going to feed him, or protect him? When will he be as tall as I am? Oh dear! Oh dear!”

But Thunder stood up straight on his little hind legs, swinging his not so long tail behind him and gave his mother the most beautiful dinosaur smile.

“I’m hungry!” he said. Mummy laughed and walked on towards the nearest clump of trees and bushes in the swampy forest. They stretched their long thin necks and began to eat the nice fresh leaves.
