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. 😉

Dino Dino und das große Warten

🇩🇪

Die Geschichte

Es war einmal ein kleiner Dinosaurier namens Dino Dino. Dino Dino war grün, rundlich und immer hungrig. Sein Lieblingsessen war – natürlich – Riesen-Kekse. 🍪

Eines Tages backte seine Oma Dino einen Berg von frischen Keksen. Die ganze Höhle roch nach Schokolade. „Aber du musst warten, bis sie abgekühlt sind!“, sagte Oma streng. „Wenn du sie zu früh isst, verbrennst du dir die Zunge!“

Dino Dino schnupperte. Er sabberte. Er tapste im Kreis und rief: „Ich will JETZT einen Keks!“

Doch Oma nickte nur: „Geduld, mein kleiner Dino.“


Das lustige Warten

Dino Dino versuchte, nicht an Kekse zu denken. Also spielte er mit seinem Schwanz – plopp! – er fiel um. Er zählte Steine in der Höhle – eins, zwei, drei… bis er die Zahlen vergaß. Dann machte er Grimassen vor dem Spiegel: „Grrrr!“, „Hiiii!“, „Blubb!“ 🤪 Das machte ihn so sehr lachen, dass er fast die Kekse vergaß.


Die Belohnung

Endlich rief Oma: „Jetzt sind die Kekse kalt!“

Dino Dino sprang hoch, fast bis zur Decke. Er nahm einen Bissen. „Mmmmh!“, rief er mit vollen Backen. „Es hat sich wirklich gelohnt zu warten!“

Oma lächelte: „Siehst du, wer warten kann, bekommt am Ende den besten Geschmack.“

Dino Dino nickte und sagte: „Ich bin Dino Dino, der große Geduld-Dino!“ 🦖✨

Und seit diesem Tag konnte er viel besser warten – na ja… fast immer. 😉
