“I would be delighted,” said the dinosaur.
Danny rode the dinosaur out of the museum.

“Then it can be your party too!” said Danny.
The children helped Danny’s father hang up balloons.
“See, I can help too,” said the dinosaur.
Danny’s mother gave out party hats.
“How do I look?” asked the dinosaur.
“We would like to sing a song,” said a girland a boy.
They sang, and everybody clapped theirhands.
“I can sing too,” said the dinosaur.
He sang, and everybody covered their ears.
“Let’s play pin the tail on the donkey,”said Danny.
The dinosaur pinned the tail on himself!
The children sat down to rest. “Please don’tput your feet on the furniture,” said Danny.
The dinosaur put his feet out the window.

They had to give the dinosaur more!
“Here comes the birthday cake!” said thechildren.
They counted the candles. “One, two, three,four, five, six.”
The dinosaur started to eat the cake.
“Wait!” said Danny. “First we have to makea wish!”
