RIO:THE GOOD
DINOSAUR

Once upon a time, at the base of mountain lived a dinosaur
family. The smallest one was named Rio. Rio had two brothers
and parents too. His brothers named Robert and Arlo. From the
moment Rio was born, he was very scared and his father
coaxed him to get out from the egg.
Rio worked at the farm with his brothers and parents. As his
siblings grew older, they managed to do a lot of things and
independent too. Unlike Rio, even the simple chores terrified
him.

One day, Rio's father gave Rio a job. The job was Rio has to
catch the critter. This job is to train him to be more creative in
doing any chores. They built a trap so it will be easier for Rio to
catch the critter. But when the trap rattled, Rio froze. The critter
looked hurt. Rio felt sorry for the critter, so he opened the trap.
Suddenly, Rio's father recognized it. He was very upset.

Rio 's father brang Rio searching for the critter at the river.
The sky darkened with rain. It was pouring and the river began to
rise. But it was too late already. Rio's father just have enough
time to save Rio. He sacrificed himself to save Rio. The flood
swept him away. Rio's father was gone and the family have to
work even harder without him. Rio was very sad. He felt so guilty.
He decide to travel and ran away from home.

At night, he got out from home without his family knowing
about his planning. He went far to the middle of the jungle.
Suddenly, he saw the critter that he has caught. He chased the
critter. Suddenly, they both fell into the river. Rio gasped as the
river pulled him under. In the river, Rio saw the critter was
swimming so that he would not drown. Rio followed him. Rio
struggled in swimming as he never learn how to swim.

After that, he was so hungry. He spotted the berries in the
tree and tried to reached them but he slipped. After a long and
scary night, he could not get any food and shelter. It began
raining and Rio thought that he need to build the shelter.

On the next day, the critter appeared again. He
saw Rio was hungry. The critter offered him some
berries. Rio started to wonder if the critter was not
that bad at all. Rio called the critter as Neo. At night,
Rio grew sad. He missed his father. Rio drew a circle
around the five sticks. Neo understood the drawing.
Then, Neo drew a circle around the three sticks. He
covered the two sticks with the dirt. Rio covered his
father stick with dirt too. Then, they looked up at the
stars and howled together. On the next day, Rio
planned to back home because he missed his family.
He decided to bring back Neo to the home too.

On the way back home, there was a huge storm and Rio was
so terrified. He ran fastly and tried so hard to cover Neo in the
storm. After the storm, Rio asked some Pterodotaclys for the
direction. But, the Pterodoraclys tried to steal the critter from
Rio. Just as the Pterodotaclys caught up to Rio, some
Tyrannosaurus appeared. The T.rex roared and chased the
Pterodotaclys away.

After the Pterodotaclys ran away, Rio thanked to the T.rex.
Rio took the oppurtunity to ask the T.rex to find the direction.
The T.rex agreed to help him. At night, they shared their stories
around the fire. Rio also shared the story about his family.

On the next day, Rio and Neo helped the T.rex herd the
longhorns. From that, Rio learned on how to herd the animal.They
ran along with the longhorns. Soon, Rio spotted the mountain
where his home is located appeared in the distance. Rio knew the
way home. He and Neo said goodbye to the T.rex.

On the way back home, suddenly, Rio spotted a family that
looked Neo. Neo tried to approach the family and he realized that
it was his parents and siblings.It means that Rio will be back home
alone. It was not easy but Rio said goodbye to Neo and give a hug.
After that, Rio walked back home alone.

After that, Rio finally reached his home. His family was
