One day a fast runner wanted to run very fast.  He wanted to find danger.  His name was Dino the dinosaur.

Dino laid down to have a rest after running.  He took his fast running shoes off to go to bed.  The shoes were pink.  He crawled onto a ledge with his head tucked under his arm to fall asleep.  He decided he would get up on his bike and ride around.  He moved his bike around so he could go for a ride. He said "Mum and Dad, can I go and ride on my bike"  They said yes.   He was riding on his bike and he saw a cockroach! and he was scared. He put his fast racing shoes on, and ran and ran and ran some more.

He ran away from the cockroaach, because he does not like to see them.  He made it home and then he fell asleep after all the running, and of course, he took his fast running shoes off.

The End

Dictated by Taryn Aged 4, interpreted by her mum.

The runner was an Oviraptor.  He was a carnivore (meat eater) who was an Egg thief.  He was about the size of a man and weighed 20kgs.

He had slender, powerful leg muscles that were ideal for high speed running.  Run, Run the cockroach is out to get you.
