Dino Dino loves vegetables more than cookies.
The Story
Once upon a time there was a little dinosaur called Dino Dino. Dino Dino was green, round-bellied, and always hungry. His favorite food was – of course – giant cookies. 🍪
One day his Grandma baked a mountain of fresh cookies. The whole cave smelled like chocolate. Grandma said firmly: “But you must wait until the cookies are cool! If you eat too soon, you’ll burn your tongue!”
Dino Dino sniffed. He drooled. He walked in circles and shouted: “I want a cookie NOW!”
But Grandma shook her head: “Patience, my little Dino.”
The Funny Waiting
Dino Dino tried not to think about cookies. So he played with his tail – plop! – he fell down. He counted stones in the cave – one, two, three… until he forgot the numbers. Then he made silly faces in the mirror: “Grrr!”, “Heee!”, “Blubb!” 🤪 He laughed so much that he almost forgot the cookies.
The Reward
Finally Grandma called: “Now the cookies are cool!”
Dino Dino jumped high, almost touching the ceiling. He took a big bite. “Mmmmh!” he shouted with full cheeks. “It was really worth waiting!”
Grandma smiled: “You see, whoever waits gets the best taste in the end.”
Dino Dino nodded and said: “I am Dino Dino, the great Patience Dino!” 🦖✨
And from that day on he could wait much better – well… almost always. 😉
