Two Dinos On a Date

A Cute Little Children’s Story about Overcoming Obstacles
by Gwendolen Rix

Once upon a time, a long, long, very long time ago, lived two very different dinos. One was the mightiest of all the dinos in the animal kingdom, and the other was much smaller. A  rather unintimidating thing. There they were sitting in the middle of an ice cream parlor sharing the largest ice cream cone you’d ever seen. It was a 20 scoop chocolate chip mint ice cream cone, and it even had a cherry on top for effect! They were on a dino date!

The two dinos just sat there and stared into each other’s eyes wondering how they had remained friends for all these years. Why, they really had nothing in common. Rex was a rather large and aggressive old beast and preferred steak and potatoes, and Tri-tops preferred her diet of crunchy greens. But still, even til this day they remained best friends despite one preferring to eat the other as a noon day snack.

What allowed these complete opposites to remain friends over all these centuries? What was it that kept their friendship alive? It was good ole fashioned friendship based on compromise. They decided to not hang out together around feeding time and they never shared the same sleeping quarters. They learned to coexist alongside each other by discussing how they could live in peace and harmony, and every once in a while they would get together and share an ice cream cone or two. It was a friendship made in heaven and it was everlasting too. 

The most important part of this dino story is that there are no obstacles that friendship can’t overcome. There is no problem too great that two friends can’t talk it through. Friends are priceless treasures and once in a lifetime there comes along a few that are worth preserving til the very end. My name is Tri-tops and I just wanted to write a little story about me and my friend Rex.
