The Friendly Dinosaur. 
 
*Read  the story.Answer the questions. You can use 1, 2 or 3 words.
 
Yesterday at school our teacher told us a story about a friendly dinosaur. His name   was Dino and he lived in a cave         near a big and beautiful forest. The other animals      in the forest didn't like Dino because most of them were afraid of him. They thought he wanted to eat them. But   could only eat    and fruits.   He didn't like to eat animals. Poor Dino was the only dinosaur in the world and he didn't  have any friends to tell secrets or to play
 
with. And he loved to play.

One day  was whistling a beautiful song and walking in the big and beautiful
 
 forest          when suddenly he saw a fire burning. He saw the birds flying very fast in the sky, the           running with their big families, the frogs       jumping really scared and all the animals and insects trying to get away. It was horrible!

 them but he wanted to help. All the animals wanted to be his friends. Dino left his
 
               and went to live in the   with the other animals.                          They played together and  had friends     to tell secrets to.       Our teacher told us that we could   learn from this story. We shouldn't be afraid of
