The story

Deep in the sunny jungle, T-Rex loved to show off his giant, gleaming white teeth. Wearing his bright red bandana, he was a very happy dinosaur!

But when he tried to reach the juicy purple berries high up in the trees, his tiny, comical arms just couldn't stretch far enough.

High up on a winding vine, a magnificent golden starfruit glowed in the sun. It looked absolutely delicious!

T-Rex stretched his tiny arms as far as they would go, but the starfruit was still way too high. He needed a clever plan!

T-Rex tried jumping high into the air, but his heavy feet shook the ground and made his head spin!

Next, he tried to hold a long stick to poke the fruit. But his tiny claws couldn't grip it, and the stick wobbled wildly!

The little jungle animals giggled at his clumsy attempts. But T-Rex just laughed along, suddenly getting a very clever new plan!

Instead of reaching with his hands, T-Rex leaned his giant head close to the vine. He would use his mighty teeth!

With a very gentle, careful nibble, his mighty teeth snapped the vine. The glowing golden starfruit began to tumble down!

The beautiful golden starfruit landed softly on the green moss below, completely safe and unbroken!

T-Rex happily shared the sweet, juicy fruit with all his jungle friends, glad that his giant teeth could help.

Tiny arms were no trouble when you had a big heart and a mighty smile. With a happy roar, T-Rex was ready for his next big adventure!
