In a world where big dinosaurs lived, there was a small, smart one named Daisy. Daisy was like a detective; she could figure out things that puzzled other dinosaurs. One day, she got a letter from a duck who was really upset because her special eggs had disappeared. The duck thought another dinosaur had taken them.

Daisy wanted to solve this puzzle, so she went on a quest. She asked questions to the dinosaurs that lived nearby – a cranky triceratops, a playful pterodactyl, and a sneaky stegosaurus. But no one seemed to know where the eggs were. Daisy didn’t give up though, and decided to look around the big volcano.

Inside a dark cave in the volcano, Daisy found a hidden spot. She saw a young dinosaur named Benny surrounded by egg shells. Daisy understood that Benny played with the eggs because he thought they were toys. Benny was sorry for the mistake. Daisy forgave him and they cleaned up together.

After that, Daisy and Benny became best friends. Daisy taught Benny to ask before taking things, and Benny showed Daisy how great it is to have a friend. They went on lots of adventures, with Benny helping Daisy solve more mysteries. They showed everyone that working together is the best way to fix problems.

Daisy became famous for helping solve problems. Lots of dinosaurs came to her for help, and she always found a solution. She proved that even though she was small, she was super smart and never gave up. Daisy also showed everyone that it’s okay to make mistakes and that friends can be found in the most unexpected places.

Whenever you come across a puzzle, think of Daisy and Benny. Let your curiosity lead you, be nice to others, and don’t forget how important it is to forgive and make friends. Maybe you could be a great detective too, just like Daisy.
