Once upon a time there was a Cregathorus called Craig. His best friend was a llama called Giddyup.

One day, his friend got dragged away by humans. Craig left the cave to search for him.

He saw a forest, but he didn’t realise that there were other dinosaurs in there. Craig thought he was bigger and stronger than them, but then he got closer. They were bigger and stronger than him!

He saw the other Cregathoruses abusing his friend by bullying him, calling him ugly and making him float away.

The humans had thrown the llama in a different cave. The Cregathoruses found him and brought him back to their camp. They were trying to make him float away, but they couldn’t because he was filled with air.

Meanwhile Craig was searching, shouting out, “Giddyup! Where are you?”

Craig found his friend in the camp, but his friend was too terrified to talk.

Craig remembered there was a magic cave nearby where you could wish for anything you want. He went there and wished to be the strongest and biggest Cregathorus in the world.
