    Chapter 2

    One sunny morning, Terry's friend, Archie the Apatosaurus, said, "Let's go to the Muddy Puddle! It's the best place to play!" Terry, without thinking, said, "Okay!"

  3. The Muddy Puddle is dry, and Terry follows Archie's new suggestion.

    Chapter 3

    But when they got there, the Muddy Puddle was all dried up! Terry was sad, but Archie said, "Let's go to the Spiky Thicket then!" Again, Terry agreed without thinking.

  4. Terry gets hurt in the Spiky Thicket but doesn't complain.

    Chapter 4

    The Spiky Thicket was full of sharp spikes! Terry didn't like it, but he didn't say anything. He just followed Archie. "Ouch!" Terry cried. "These spikes hurt!"

  5. Terry decides to think for himself and suggests a new place.

    Chapter 5

    Suddenly, Terry stopped. He thought, "I don't like the spikes! I want to go to the Grassy Meadow!" He told Archie, "I want to go somewhere else!"

  6. Terry and Archie play in the Grassy Meadow, and Terry learns a valuable lesson.

    Chapter 6

    Archie was surprised, but he said, "Okay, Terry! Let's go to the Grassy Meadow!" And they did. Terry had so much fun playing in the soft grass. He learned that it's good to think for himself!
