Amanda K wrote this fantastic short story in her creative writing class about finding a dinosaur.  We thought it was so great that you would like to read it too.

Today I found a dinosaur in my backyard.  I screamed so loud it broke a glass in the kitchen!  I asked the dinosaur what his name was.  He said it was Wolly.  He was green and spotted.  I asked him where he came from.  “I come from Spotted Dino-land,” said Wolly.  He said to me, “May I please have some plants to eat?” I said, “Sure!”  I gave him some tomato plants.  My mom saw me and she said, “Amanda, don’t pick those!”

I asked Wolly if I could get on his back.  He said, “Sure”, so I did.  We rode around in circles all around my backyard.  We rode for two hours.  Then my mom called for dinner – it was salad.  Wolly said, “Can I come?”  I said, “Come on in” and then we ate salad together.
