Children’s Writing: ‘Terry the Pteradon discovers his talent’ by Jack aged 6

Once upon a time there lived …

a Pteradon.

Let’s call him Terry.

He had a short tail

but the most important thing

about Terry the Pteradon

was that he had giant wings.

He lived in a messy nest on a dark cliff.

It was like a bird’s nest only bigger.

It was made of sticks and feathers.

 

He had two friends.

Their names were Dippy and Dopey.

They were both Diplodocuses

and belonged to the sauropod family.

Terry thought he had no talent.

Dippy and Dopey had water power.

They were born with this talent.

They could squirt water out of their tails.

If there was a fire tornado in Dinoville,

they could come to the rescue.

Terry the Pteradon had hunter fish talents.

But he didn’t know this yet.

Pteradons can swoop down very fast

and the fish don’t see them coming,

but Terry hadn’t discovered that yet.

Along came a prehistoric snake called Titanoboa.

A Titanoboa would eat a T Rex for breakfast.

Dippy and Dopey whacked their tails on the ground.

This was a sign that they could sense danger.

A Titanoboa would eat them for lunch.

Terry the Pteradon came to the rescue.

He discovered his hunter fish talents.

He swooped down very fast

and the Titanoboa didn’t see him coming,

 

The snake was caught by surprise

and he slid away.

Dippy and Dopey were grateful to their friends

and Terry was happy that he had discovered his talent.
