    Once upon a time, in a world full of dinosaurs, there lived a young and playful dinosaur named Dino. Dino was a friendly creature but he loved pranks a little too much.

    Dino had a special talent, he could make the scariest face amongst all the dinosaurs. Every time he would do that, all the other dinosaurs would run away, scared.

    Though everyone found Dino’s pranks funny at first, slowly his friends started avoiding him, afraid of his scary face. They didn’t like to be scared all the time.

    One sunny day, while Dino was alone, a big, mean dinosaur named Rex came storming into their neighborhood.

    Rex was known to be a bully and loved to pick on smaller dinosaurs. Seeing him, all the young dinosaurs including Dino's friends ran away, hiding wherever they could.

    Rex snarled and stomped around, searching for the little ones. Unfortunately, he found Dino’s friends hiding and decided to take them captive.

    When Dino found out about his friends, he became worried. He realized he had to do something to help his friends.

    Dino decided to use his talent of making scary faces to scare Rex away and free his friends. He took a deep breath and set off to where Rex had taken his friends.

    He found Rex guarding his friends. Dino decided to hide and plan his next move. He noticed that Rex was ticklish whenever a butterfly flew near him.

    Dino decided to use this to his advantage. He carefully ran to a nearby bush filled with butterflies and shook it with all his might.

    Soon, a group of butterflies came out and started fluttering around. Seeing this, Rex started laughing uncontrollably, closing his eyes in the process.

    Dino saw this as his chance and made the scariest face he could. As Rex opened his eyes, he was greeted with the horrifying sight of Dino snarling at him.

    Rex was startled and forgot all about the tickling butterflies. With a scream of fear, he ran away as fast as he could, leaving the little ones behind.

    Dino quickly ran to his friends and helped them out of the bush where they were hiding. They were all relieved and very grateful to Dino.

    They praised Dino for his bravery and thanked him for rescuing them. Dino was proud and happy that he was able to use his talent to save his friends.

    From that day on, Dino decided to use his talent of making scary faces only when it was necessary. His friends no longer feared him, but admired his courage.

    Life in the dinosaur neighborhood returned to normal. The little dinosaurs played freely, knowing that they were safe. And Dino, he continued to entertain but not scare his friends.

    In the end, Dino learned the valuable lesson that his abilities were not for scaring, but for protecting his friends. He also learned the importance of being a good friend.

    Dino, from being the prankster to becoming the hero, had quite an adventure. He grew up to be a brave and respectful dinosaur, loved by all his friends.
