The Bronto

 

 

 

It was hot!

 

It was boiling!

 

I was thirsty as a frog!

 

It was tea-time

 

And my tummy was as hollow as a log.

 

 

I went to the kitchen

 

And opened the door

 

But there was nothing inside,

 

Nothing at all!

 

No food for me

 

Or my big brontosaur!

 

 

 

 

'Nothing to eat?’ called my Dad

 

‘Are you sure?’

 

 

So we wrote a quick list

 

And we raced to the store,

 

Dad and me,

 

And our bags

 

And my big Brontosaur.

 

 

We found iceburger lettuce

 

Bananas and greens.    

 

 

We got milk and tomatoes

 

And pasta and beans.

 

 

We bought toothpaste with stripes,

 

And some flakes for my fishes.

 

 

We got cans for the cat

 

And bubbles for dishes

 

 

And some lovely warm bread

 

And a huge chunk of cheese

 

 

Then Dad got exhausted

 

So we had to have tea.

 

 

But suddenly

 

I noticed

 

With a terrible roar!

 

That my big brontosaurus

 

Wasn't there

 

Anymore!

 

 

 

‘HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BIG BRONTOSAUR??’

 

 

"Not me," said the waitress banging the door.

 

"Not me," said the cleaner moping the floor.

 

"Not me," said the fruit girl scratching her head

 

"Nor me," said the baker stacking up bread

 

"Not me," said the chemist spraying her hair

 

Then we ran to the deli...

 

But he still wasn't there!

 

 

We searched in the car park

 

We shouted and called

 

But no one had spotted a lost Brontosaur.

 

 

They were all really sorry

 

But they couldn’t do more...

 

 

 

 

So

 

We walked slowly home.

 

Just me

 

And my Dad.

 

We didn't say much

 

Just carried our bags.

 

 

We walked up the path,

 

Put the key in the door...

 

 

 

 

And

 

Guess

 

Who I found ?

 

Fast asleep on the floor!
