    Terry, the Triceratops, was a lively little dinosaur. He was always seen playing joyfully in the thick of the jungle, his favorite playground.

    Terry loved playing with his dino friends. Together, they would explore the jungle, splash in the river, and play hide and seek among the trees.

    One day, a new dinosaur, Rex, joined the group. Rex was older and bigger than the rest and was intimidating to the others.

    Rex started to dominate the group's games and made fun of Terry for being small and young. He even stopped inviting Terry to their games.

    Terry felt left out and sad. He missed his friends and their fun games. He didn't understand why Rex was being so mean.

    Terry decided to confront Rex, hoping to understand why he was being left out. He gathered his courage and walked towards the group.

    Terry asked Rex why he was being mean. Rex looked surprised and explained that he was only teasing, not realizing that it was hurting Terry.

    Terry told Rex how he felt left out and how much he missed his friends. Rex apologized and promised to change his behavior.

    From that day onwards, Rex included Terry in all the games. The group was complete again, and the jungle echoed with their laughter.
