Don the Pteranodon's Eye Doctor Visit
As per regular morning visit Bruce the Brachiosaurus was drinking water at the stream, when he heard the sound of giggling. To his surprise he saw a boy on the other end by the stream, he walked slowly there and brought his head down to check on a boy, as he had never seen a creature like that.
He asked boy what's his name, to which boy replied his name is Aarav and they exchanged few words and became friends. In few mins boy was sliding up and down on the long neck of Brachiosaurus, like they know each other for long.
Aarav asked Bruce the Brachiosaurus if they can see other dinosaurs in jungle. Bruce got really excited to find his new found fan, as otherwise he used to roam alone in the jungle. He started boasting and said I have many friends and I can take you to meet them.
Bruce started walking towards the dense area of jungle where they ran into Steggy the stegosaurus, Tops the Triceratops, Dip the Diplodocus. They asked Bruce all kind of questions to learn where he found a new friend, and they all got acquainted with each other.
While they were talking and playing, suddenly one huge flying dinosaur came and bang in the tree. They all got shaken with this sudden incident. Steggy looked up in the sky and with grinned smile said “It's been going on since morning, this Pteranodon has lost his mind”. The flying dinosaur with big wings was Don the Pteranodon. It again got up, started flying and then bumped into another tree.
Bruce couldn't help but walked near that tree and asked gently 'Do you need any help? looks like you are not able to see properly'.
Aarav, the boy had a very adventurous spirit, he was always excited to explore new things and make friends with everyone. So, when he saw the Pteranodon for the first time, he was thrilled and wanted to know everything about it. He asked the Pteranodon about its wings and how it could fly. The Pteranodon was very pleased to meet such a curious creature and started telling him all about its wings and how they worked.
Don looked at Bruce the Brachiosaurus and said "It was all good till last month, I seem to find it hard to see this trees on my flying route, did they grow up suddenly big overnight?' Bruce said "I don't think it can grow that fast, but I know an eye doctor, may be he can help you." to which Pteranodon got really happy and said "can you take me? Is he good?" Don said, "I have been going there for long time, and my eyesight is pretty good. However, I also eat lot of greens, which may not be true for you". Don said "I do eat lot of fish, it’s also equally healthy no?" Aarav kept listening to this exchange and wondered "wow, this is one healthy and smart group of dinosaur crowd I have found."
Bruce asked Don to get on his back, which made Aarav little uncomfortable but they got adjusted pretty fast. They all headed towards the near by island, where there was big sign 'Dr. Victor' the Velociraptor - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Don entered in the office and was fascinated to see all the posters about best choice of actions to have good eye sight and safety.
Don saw Dr. Victor and asked 'are you the doctor?' to which he replied in affirmative and asked what seems to be the problem. Dr. Victor suggested to get eyes tested, and he asked Don to read the letters on the board, on the board following alphabets were listed - C, D, E, F, L
Don started reading - zero, zeroooo, mmm three, seeven, and one I think
Bruce and Aarav looked at Don with surprise, thinking may be he doesn’t know A to Z. Doctor asked him if he knows ABCD to which after little bit of thinking Don said yes, of course I know. Bruce whispered in his ears - You spoke numbers which is used to describe quantity like 2 wings, 2 eyes, one nose. Don gave an angry look to Bruce and said. “I know what numbers are, did you bring me to math teacher, I don’t like math”.
Bruce said “Don you need to read the letters, like A B C D, so Dr. Victor can know if your eyes are good”. Doctor suggested to try one more time, he pulled another sheet, which read - N, O, P, T, Z
Don started reading again with making his eye laser focus - mmmm M, 0, 9, T, Z
Dr.Victor gave him one glass to wear and then gave another sheet, and this time he was able to read everything just fine.
After detailed exchange it was found that Don was way too near to things while trying to look at them, and he was suggested to use reading glasses, his glasses were super thick like magnifying glass. He was really happy to get help and even more happy to learn that eating lot of greens and fish is good for eye sight. All the gang thanked Dr. Victor, and went on their separate ways.
Outside Don thanked Bruce and Aarav to bringing him here. With newly found eye sight Don was super excited, and he kept looking in water to fix his new look with glasses.
All the other friends also got happy to learn that Don won’t be bumping into trees and make loud noises or hurt other birds staying on those trees.
Aarav said bye to Bruce and promised to see him again soon.
