Once upon a time, two dinosaurs were racing in the forest to see who could zigzag around the trees and rocks the fastest. As they ran and laughed, enjoying themselves, suddenly one of them slipped and fell into some muck. Covered in dirt and muck, they laughed louder, until, he began to sink in! It wasn’t ordinary muck; it was quick sand and the dino’s life was in danger. Immediately, his friend sprang into action, and said, “Calm down; I’ll get you out!” With quick thinking and resourcefulness, he started collecting branches and leaves and everything strong. He quickly made a long rope, swung it towards his trapped friend and then tied it to a tree near by. With all his might he then pulled his friend to safety. Swearing to be more careful and paying attention to their surroundings, they walked home, having escaped danger.
