In a place where dinosaurs lived, there was a smart little dinosaur named Daisy who could solve hard puzzles. She was like a detective! One day, a worried duck told her that its eggs were missing and thought another dinosaur took them.

Daisy went around asking dinosaurs like the grumpy triceratops and the sneaky stegosaurus if they knew where the eggs were. Nobody knew. So Daisy went to look in a volcano. Inside, she found a secret room and a baby dinosaur named Benny with the broken eggs. Benny thought they were toys to play with!

Daisy was kind and taught Benny he should have asked before taking the eggs. They cleaned up the mess together. After that, Daisy and Benny became best friends. They had lots of adventures and always helped each other.

Daisy became famous for solving problems and helping other dinosaurs. She showed she was small but very smart and brave. She also taught all the other dinosaurs that it’s okay to make mistakes and make new friends.

If you ever have a puzzle to solve, think of Daisy and Benny. Use your curiosity, be nice to others, and trust in friendship and saying sorry. Maybe you can be a great detective too!
