Tiny's Tiny Arms
Tiny was a big T-Rex. He was big and green. He had big feet and a big head. But Tiny had small arms. Very small arms!
Tiny did not like his small arms. "They are too small!" he said. "I can't reach things. I can't pick up toys. My arms are no good."
One day, Tiny felt itchy. His back was very itchy. He tried to reach it with his big feet. But he could not reach. He tried to rub against a tree. But it did not help. "Oh no!" said Tiny. "I am too itchy!"
Then, Tiny had an idea. He used his small arms. He reached back. He started to scratch. His small arms were just the right size! They could reach the itchy spot. "Ahhh!" said Tiny. "That feels good!"
Tiny scratched and scratched. The itch went away. Tiny was happy. "My small arms are not so bad," he said. "They are good for scratching my back! I like my small arms."
Now, Tiny is happy with his small arms. He knows they are perfect for something. And that is all that matters.
