1. The Dino in the forest.

Dion is a boy of 5 years old, who wants to research dinosaurs when he is big. Each day after school he is already looking for a dinosaur at home in the garden. Only..... until now he has not seen one.

As so often, today Dion goes to the forest with grandpa, by car, to play and search for chestnuts. They brought a large basket to put in the chestnuts. After an hour of searching, Dion and his grandpa have already found many chestnuts and the basket is almost full. Just wait a moment,' grandpa says,' I still have another basket in the car. I will get it now'.

Grandpa is going to the car to pick up the basket and Dion continues to search for chestnuts. Ohhh! Says Dion to himself,' I see a big chestnut lying there'. He walks towards it and goes through his knees to pick it up. Dion looks a bit better at the chestnut and thinks....' but... but that is not chestnut at all? This is an egg.... but it is a very big egg. It is not of a chicken or duck, it is even bigger than an ostrich's egg.

This is.... a dinosaur egg. But dinosaurs don't exist anymore? At that moment, Dion feels a bit of sniffing in his neck and hears someone walking towards him. That is surely grandpa, who is here again with a new basket. Grandpa has a cold so he sniffs a little bit. He is already shouting cheerfully,' Hello grandpa there are you again'. Dion turns around and he looks straight into the face of a dinosaur. But he has never seen this dinosaur in all of his books at home.

Dion is not afraid of the dinosaur, he looks at him very friendly. 'Hello,' says Dion to the dinosaur,' What is your name?'

The dinosaur looks at Dion in surprised and says back, "I don't know what my name is.' 'What kind of dinosaur are you then?' Ask Dion. 'I don't know either,' says the dinosaur. 'My name is Dion.' 'What a nice name,' says the dinosaur,' If only I had a name'. 'Hmmm.... can I give you a name?' says Dion,' then I'm gone call you Dion-saurus'. 'That's good', says the dinosaur, which is happy that he finally has a name.

At that moment, Dion hears footsteps again. ‘Ohhh that is grandpa who picked up the basket from the car!' The Dionsaur also hears it, says to Dion, 'until the next time' and runs away into the forest. Dion quickly throws some leaves over the egg before grandpa is there. 'Hello Dion,' he say,' A lot more chestnuts found'? 'Yes, grandpa, very much and very big.' Dion and grandpa soon fill the new basket with chestnuts and go home. Before they leave, Dion looks around him once more to see if he sees the Dionsaur, but he doesn't see anything. 'What is there,' Grandpa asks? 'Nothing, I'm just looking around a bit.' At home with mom and dad they put the baskets with chestnuts in the shed. They drink something together and then grandpa goes home.

2. One more time to the forest.

The entire week Dion is thinking about the Dionsaur and the egg he has found. A few days later, grandpa visits again. 'Grandpa,' says Dion, 'can we go back to the forest this weekend to search for chestnuts? ' ‘More chestnuts?' Grandpa asks. Don't you have enough yet? Dion thinks quickly and says, 'No, because I am making a castle of the chestnuts and I need a lot more'. 'Well then,' says Grandpa with a smile,' we will go back to the forest this weekend.'

Saturday morning grandpa picks up Dion to go to the forest together. Dion is already standing in front of the
