NAME:

dino is surprised

Dino dinosaur is lying face down on the dock. Below him, in the water, tiny fish are swimming.
“Hi little fish,” he mutters.
She breaks a crust of bread into crumbs and spreads them in the water.
– You must be hungry! – he says, as they gather on the surface and start to nibble on the crumbs.
He throws a few more and the fish continue to eat.
Suddenly, all the fish stop eating. In a second, they swim away, forming a swift dark cloud of tiny bodies.

– Wow! What happened? - Dino wonders - Did I scare them?
Dino is looking at the water. Then a giant fish swims right under it and disappears under the dock.
– HIC! – says Dino. He was scared, even though the giant fish didn't even pay attention to him.
The giant fish goes to the place where the fish were. Dino backs away from the edge of the dock, scared, but keeps watching. The fish rises, sees the bread crumbs floating in the water, and with a flick of the tail, scatters everything.
- Oh my! – shouts Dino.
– The little ones are easily scared – the giant fish says, suddenly – I'm too big and my teeth are huge. Look!
– No wonder the little fish got away! – Dino takes a breath, trying to calm down – You and a huge fish! – he says, shaking his head.
– It's hard to make friends – the fish complains – Are you afraid of me? Would you be my friend?
As quickly as it appeared, the giant fish is sliding into deeper, darker waters.
