Given my inaction on the blog, Gauri decided to contribute her own story in the Yippee and Dino series...enjoy!

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

One fine day Mamma decided that Yippee needed to get out of his room!

She had not said anything earlier  because it was really cold but now that spring has started what excuse could Yippee give? 

Earlier at the breakfast table, Mamma had announced that  the family was going  for a field trip and that too camping!

Mamma gently knocked Yippee's  door.A sad looking Dino came out of the  door and said " Yippee is not spending time with me. He  and Bruno are stuck playing  a video game .

 Mamma did not like Yippee playing too much of video games as it was bad for the eyes. She burst open the door and said,"Yippee we are going camping this instance so pack your bag! "

Bruno continued playing but then Mamma dragged Bruno out of the room."Let's go, Papa must be waiting outside in the car", said Mamma 

They all sat and reached the campsite by evening.

Dino 's eyes  caught sight of another creature which looked like her!It was a dinosaur so identical, it looked just like Dino! Dino rushed there and started playing with the other dinosaur . 

At about dinner time Papa came to call Dino. But which one was Dino amongst the two? Papa was really confused!! 

Can you guess who's Dino?
Answer the purple eyed one is Dino.

Papa called Yippee to identify which one is Dino.But Yippee could not figure out as well and  even Mamma didn't know.

Then Yippee said maybe Bruno can sniff out Dino.And he did!The other dinosaur's name was Coffee. Only her eyes were blue in color apart from that there was really no difference among the two!

Yippee got bored because Bruno slept all night and Dino played a lot with Coffee.Yippee went to Mamma and said why isn't Dino playing with me?

"Well you also teamed up with Bruno and played video games all the time.she must have felt the same way. It is important to spend time with all your friends ", said Mamma."Yippee what you seed is what you grow.Well you can go and ask if you can also play", said .Mamma .

"She never even tried playing with me",  Yippee added.

"But you know a dinosaurs eyesight is not very sharp,if she plays a video game she might get spectacles.You should all play hide and seek and other games so that you all can play.Even Bruno will get spectacles ,her eyesight isn't any better that of Dino", said Mamma

 Yippee went to Dino and said," I would love it if I can also play with you two"

Of course, I would really appreciate it",Dino replied.After 2 hours of play they all waved goodnight and slept.After that Coffee,Dino,Bruno and Yippee always and always played  together :)
