Read:
Dino was a cheerful and playful dinosaur. Therefore, he had won the affection of his family and neighbors. He spent the day singing and dancing, and he kept doing somersaults and leaps.
He loved nature and was always very careful not to harm even a mosquito, despite its enormous size. One day, however, he stepped on a beautiful flower and it soon died. Then a sadness seized the dinosaur. It didn't comfort him the idea that it had been an accident, that he hadn't intentionally stepped on the flower.
Days passed and Dino was increasingly depressed and inconsolable. His neighbors, full of pity to see him in that state, decided to look for a solution. But however much they thought, they found none.
Finally, a grasshopper had an idea that seemed quite reasonable.
"If Dino is so afraid of crushing flowers and small animals, he'll jump, from now on, on his fingertips." That way you can't do damage to anyone. he said with a sigh and a gesture of relief.
The locust's suggestion sounded good to everyone. Even Dino who, from then on, jumped and danced always on his fingertips. His sadness faded and he was back to being the happy, loving dinosaur he always was.
