The young boy closes his eyes and whispers, 'I wish I could see a dinosaur!' A warm wind swirls around him.
When he opens his eyes, giant ferns tower above him, and a low rumble shakes the ground. A long neck rises from the mist!
The Brachiosaurus blinks slowly and lets out a soft bird-like hoot. Leo giggles even more!
Leo tiptoes after the giant and discovers a nest of speckled eggs half-buried in moss.
One egg wiggles, then cracks open—a tiny green head pops out and sneezes. 'Achoo!' it says, spraying little pebbles everywhere.
The baby dinosaur chases Leo's shadow, bouncing like a fuzzy ball. Leo runs, laughing with delight!
He stumbles into a warm, sunlit clearing where a whole herd of gentle giants browses the trees.
Leo sits on a soft bed of ferns, and the biggest dinosaur lowers its head beside him, breathing a warm, leafy sigh.
He closes his eyes, smiling, and whispers, 'See you again someday.'
When he wakes, the morning light fills his room. On his nightstand rests one tiny, perfect green eggshell.
