Ollie was a lazy Ornithomimid dinosaur. Though they were supposed to be the fastest yet Ollie was anything but fast. He was so lazy that he didn’t even like to move, leave alone running like the other Ornithomimid dinosaurs. One day, a competition was announced in the forest; the fastest dinosaur would be awarded with one year of unlimited food. The reward made Ollie feel excited for the competition and he wrote his name in the list of participants. Every morning as others exercised and practised, Ollie lay in bed dreaming of the free food. The others asked him to work out too, lest he should lose. But Ollie didn’t listen. Then, on the day of the competition, Ollie ran the race with the other dinos and came last. Deeply disappointed, he returned home with the lesson, “One can’t get something simply by setting all one’s thoughts on it. A lot of hard work is needed too.”
