Danny went to camp for the summer. He took along his friend the dinosaur.
“Camp is fun. You will enjoy it,” said Danny.
“Thanks. I needed a vacation,” said the dinosaur.
“Welcome,” said the camp owner. “You’re the first dinosaur we ever had here.”
Lana the leader said, “Let’s start with a race. On your mark, get set, go!”
The dinosaur took a step. “You win!” shouted Danny.
The children played football. The dinosaur ran with the ball,
and nobody could stop him.
“Touchdown!” shouted Danny.
Lana took everybody to the lake.
“Here is where we row our boats,” she said.
The children rowed little boats. Danny rowed the dinosaur.
It was time for lunch.
“Please pass the ketchup,” said Danny.
“Of course, just as soon as I finish this bottle,” said the dinosaur.
After lunch everybody wrote letters home.
“Please send me my own ketchup,” Danny wrote.
“Send me a pizza,” wrote the dinosaur.
“Now let’s go on a hike,” said Lana,
And everybody followed her.
Then Danny got tired and climbed on the dinosaur.
“Wait for us! We’re tired too!” shouted the children.
“Hold tight,” said the dinosaur.
The dinosaur even carried Lana!
It got dark. Everybody sat around the campfire.
Lana gave out toasted marshmallows. “Here, have all you want,” she said.
“Thanks, but I don’t have room for more,” said Danny.
“I have room,” said the dinosaur.
It was time for bed. “I can’t wait to get under the covers,” said Danny.
“Me too,” said the dinosaur.
But the dinosaur’s bunk was too small for him.
He took a pillow and went outside.
“Wake me up for breakfast,” said the dinosaur, and he fell asleep on the ground. “Good night,” Danny said.
