What is that smell?

- Our! Here is a smell of dead fish! – Dino dinosaur's mother complains when she enters his room this morning.
– Huh? - Dino murmurs, waking up.
Dino's mother opens the window wide.
She waves her arms to ward off the bad air.
– What's causing this smell? - Mom asks.
“I don't smell anything,” Dino replies.
“That's probably because you've been sleeping here all night and you've gotten used to it,” Mom says, looking around the room.

'I think it's great that you've kept your bedroom floor clean since your dad sprained your ankle, Dino,' she says, 'but something is stinking!
She lowers herself to the floor and sees a pile of clothes under Dino's bed.
– What is all this? – she asks sharply.
– Ah… they're clothes – Dino answers softly – They're there because that way the floor doesn't get messy – he completes.
Mom pulls some clothes from the pile.
- I found! – she exclaims – Yeah!
She opens his bathing suit.
– Dino, this was kept for three days wet! - She says, a little angry.
- Yes, Mom - Dino mutters - but at least the floor is clean! - he says.
– Oh, you dino you little brat! - Mom gives an ironic giggle.
