2 Long, long ago in the time of the caveman lived a kind stegosaurus called Angus. He was a shy dinosaur who quietly went about his business without disturbing anyone around him. He loved playing with his friends Tracey and James. Tracey was a beautiful pink dinosaur and James was a small dinosaur who could fly. They loved to play hide and seek, make money but their best thing was to play tricks on each other. Once Tracey put a toy spider in Angus’s food and he got such a fright that he shook for a whole day. Aaah! A spider. HELP!

3 . One day James had a wonderful idea for making money. He suggested that they make rock crunchies and sell it to all their neighbours. Tracey and Angus thought that this was a brilliant idea, as Tracey’s mom had the best recipe for rock crunchies. They cooked all morning and managed to sell all of the rock crunchies to their neighbours and made lots of money. Angus said he had a special hiding place and would look after the money for them. The friends agreed to this as Angus was always very careful with everything he ever looked after. I will find a good hiding place for the money.

4 . A week later the children found something they wanted to spend their money on. Angus went to get the money from his special hiding place but it wasn’t there. He went back to his friends and explained that he couldn’t find the money. They didn’t believe him and called him a liar and a thief. They said they would never trust him ever again and didn’t want to be his friends anymore. He got very cross with them and called them rock face dinosaurs and lying lizards and any other nasty names he could think of. This made James and Tracey furious and they marched off to tell their moms. You are so mean.

5 Angus went home crying and his mom asked him what was wrong. He shouted back at her “NOTHING!” and slammed his bedroom door so hard the windows rattled. His mom was not happy with his behaviour and went to speak to him but he was so cross he would not listen to her. She then grounded him for a week for his bad behaviour. While this was happening Tracey and James started to feel sorry for the way they had treated Angus and decided they would go and apologise to him. They went to his house but he was sulking and refused to speak to them. So they decided to leave him alone if he wanted to be so nasty. NOTHING !!!!!!!

6 On the way home Tracey and James decided to take the short cut through the forest. They were not allowed to go that way as that was where Goliath the scary T-Rex lived. Their mothers said that Goliath liked to eat young dinosaurs so they must never take the short cut through the forest. Tracey and James had decided that this was not true and they had gone this way a couple of times and nothing had ever happened to them. However on this day Goliath was very hungry and was lumbering through the forest in search of food.

7 Tracey and James were moaning that Angus was being very selfish and as usual was sulking when things did not go his way. He never listened to them when he was upset and that really bugged them. Unfortunately they did not hear or see Goliath and he came running after them. Lucky for them T-Rex’s are not very good runners so the friends heard him coming after them. They were terrified and screamed at the top of their lungs. “Help, help!” they cried. Angus heard their cries and realised they were in danger. Off he ran to help them. When he got there he saw that Goliath wanted to eat them, he was very frightened but he knew he had to do something to help his friends. But what? HELP! GRRRRR!

8 . Suddenly he got an idea. He remembered being told by the teachers at school that Goliath did not like loud noises. He wondered what he could use to make a big noise. Then he saw it lying on the ground, someone had left an old drum there. So he grabbed it and bravely ran to Goliath beating the drum as hard as he could and shouting at the top of his voice. Goliath got such a fright that he forgot about eating Tracey and James. He then went running back into the forest, and did not stop until he was deep inside the forest. Oh no! The noise.

9 . James and Tracey ran up to Angus and thanked him for being so brave. They couldn’t believe he was so brave and had risked his life for them. The three friends promised never to fight again as their friendship was the most important thing in the world to them. They lived happily ever after and stayed friends for the rest of their lives. Let’s never fight ever again!
