Dano Learns to Count

Dano, the little blue dinosaur, loved his red hat. One day, he decided he wanted to learn how to count. He ran to his mom and dad and asked them to teach him. They smiled and agreed, but Dano didn't know it would be tricky. Dano was excited, but he didn't know where to start.

Dano's mom showed him how to count using her fingers. She held up one finger, then two, and so on. Dano tried to copy her but got confused. He couldn't remember what came after three. Dano felt a little sad.

Dano's dad decided to help next. He brought a bowl of rice and started counting the grains. Dano watched carefully but got distracted by the tiny grains. He tried to count but kept losing track. Dano sighed, feeling frustrated.

Dano decided to try again by himself. He took his mom's hand and tried counting her fingers. He got the first two right, but then got mixed up again. Dano felt like giving up. He wondered if he would ever learn to count.

Dano's mom saw how upset he was. She gave him a big hug and said, - It's okay, Dano. Learning takes time. - Don't give up, his dad added, - We believe in you! Dano felt a little better but still worried.

That night, Dano had a dream. A wise old dinosaur appeared and said, - Counting is like climbing a tree. One step at a time. Dano woke up feeling hopeful. He decided to try again.

The next day, Dano asked his mom and dad to help him count again. They all sat together and started counting slowly. - One, two, three, four, five, they said together. This time, Dano didn't feel rushed.

Finally, Dano counted to five all by himself! - I did it! he shouted happily. His mom and dad clapped and hugged him. Dano learned that with patience and practice, he could do anything. He felt very wise and proud.
