Dinosaurs
About one million years ago, there was dinosaur named Rex. He was a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex. No one wanted to play with him because he was a meat-eater. But there was a brave baby Stegosaurus named Spike, a baby triceratops named Sarah, and a baby long neck named Little Neck. They were all plant-eaters. Sarah didn't like Rex that much. She was afraid that Rex's mommy and daddy would eat her. She really wanted to play with her other friends. So she tried to get them way from Rex. They just ignored here and kept playing. She decided to run away. Which she new wasn't a very good idea, but she did it any way. As she got farther away from homw she thought the ground was rising just a tad. When she was walking she wasn't looking where she was going and the volcano the she was standing on erupted. All of the lava started to shot every where and she dogged all the flying lava but the flood of lava was heading her way. She was thinking if she would ever see her friends again and at the last second the pteradactyl police swooped down and picked her up. He brought her back to her friends and they all clapped as she arrived. She said thanks and gave him a big hug and then he said good bye. And that ends Sarah's adventure.
