Danny was in a hurry.

He had to see his friend the dinosaur.

"I'm six years old today,"

said Danny.

"Will you come to my birthday patty?"

 

 

7

"I would be delighted,"

said the dinosaur.

Danny rode the dinosaur

out of the museum.

 

 

10

On the way they picked up Danny's friends.

"Today I'm a hundred million years and on day old," said the dinosaur.

 

 

11

"Then it can be your party too!"

said Danny.

 

 

12

The children helped Danny's father hang up balloons.

 

 

13

"See, I can help too,"

said the dinosaur.

 

14

Danny's mother gave out party hats.

 

 

15

"How do I look?"

asked the dinosaur.

 

 

16

"We would like to sing a song,"

said a girl and a boy.

 

 

17

They sang,

and everybody clapped their hands.

 

 

18

"I can sing too," said the dinosaur.

 

 

19

He sang, and everybody covered their ears.

 

 

20

"Let's play pin the tail on the donkey," said Danny.

 

 

21

The dinosaur pinned the tail on himself!

 

 

22

The children sat down to rest.

"Please don't put your feet on the furniture," said Danny.

 

 

23

The dinosaur put his feet out the window.

 

 

24

Danny's mother and father gave each child a dish of ice cream.

 

 

25

They had to give the dinosaur more!

 

 

26

"Here comes the birthday cake!"

said the children.

 

 

27

They counted the candles.

"One, two, three, four, five, six."

 

28

The dinosaur started to eat the cake.

 

 

29

"Wait!" said Danny.

"First we have to make a wish!"

 

30

"I wish we can all be together again next year," said Danny.

"I wish the same thing," said the dinosaur.

 

 

31

They blew out the dandles.

"Happy birthday to you!"

everybody sang.

 

 

32

"This is the best birthday party I have ever had," said Danny.

"Me, too," said the dinosaur.
