Once upon a time, in a land filled with dinosaurs, there lived a young Tyrannosaurus Rex named Tommy. Tommy was strong and brave, but he had trouble listening to his parents. He would often run off on his own and not follow their instructions. One day, his parents decided it was time for Tommy to learn a valuable lesson about responsibility and the importance of listening.

The story begins in a vast prehistoric landscape, with lush green trees and a warm, sunny sky. Young Tyrannosaurus Rex, bright green skin, eyes gleaming with curiosity, the young Tyrannosaurus Rex, can be seen playing in a clearing, while his parents watch nearby with concerned expressions.

To teach Tommy about responsibility, his parents gave him a special task. They asked him to gather some colorful stones from a nearby river and bring them back to their nest. Tommy was excited about the task and eagerly headed towards the river.

As Tommy reached the river, he was captivated by the sparkling water and the beautiful stones glistening beneath. He started picking up stones and soon forgot about bringing them back to his parents. Time flew by, and when Tommy finally remembered his task, the sun had already set, and it was starting to get dark.

And as he grew older, he became a wise old dinosaur who always taught his children the importance of listening and responsibility.
