Boy Dinosaur, Chores and Candy Store
Once, a boy dinosaur named Vore wanted to explore outdoors
and not stay in for chores. Vore thought he dislike nothing more than doing his chores. So, one morn Vore snuck out while Mom snored.
Vore walked further than he ever had before pausing because he feet felt soreness flare in his feet and claws. Vore soon found himself lost in a stare. He stood floored and more, guessing this his quest had taken him right to the sight of the fabled human shore. He saw human pups and adults licking something in cone cups, plus others with sweets to eat in colors galore and decided the building his eyes were filming was a candy store.
From the store soared laughter that captured Vore's curiosity and pulled him like gravity to enter the novelty door. He got stuck in the entry and modesty completely struck when he felt all eyes bore on him, a babe dino eyesore! Knowing he was an oddity, Vore kept his eyes hostilely aimed at the floor and
silently wished to deplore able wings to vanish in a soar. "You're not ordinary candy store decor." It was a girl pup being kind enough. Vore's gratitude whiled, then, to his surprise all the pups offered up sweet stuff that they supplied in heaps only dreams could describe.
Vore lived his entire life stuck in that door, candied to his core. Dinosaurs and people grew to treat each other equal which, thankfully, allowed Vore's family to visit him and ease all his anxiety over his irreversible. In time, Vore and the store both dissolved in land that evolved into Mount Rushmore where carvings score four men who as small boys completed each chore and departed every entered candy store door.
