Dino Dino and the Big Waiting

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. 😉
