Once upon a time, young Elias with his wavy golden hair, went on a trip to the forest with his classmates.
The sun danced between the leaves as Elias spotted shapes and colors of dinosaurs on his clothes.
Suddenly, Elias tripped over a hidden root and tumbled down into a deep, dark hole.
He landed with a thud at the bottom of a big, shadowy cave, his heart pounding with fear.
As his eyes adjusted, to Eli's surprise, he saw real dinosaurs, but they weren't scary at all.
The gentle dinosaurs saw Elias's tears and chirped softly, as if trying to comfort him.
With a nudge, the dinosaurs encouraged Elias to follow them through twisty tunnels in the cave.
One kind dinosaur used its long neck to lift Elias over a puddle so his feet wouldn't get wet.
Another smaller dino swept away cobwebs with its tail, making sure Elias could pass easily.
Finally, they reached a spot where light shone through. It was the way out of the cave!
Elias climbed out with the help of his new dino friends and found himself near his classmates.
With wide eyes, Elias's friends listened as he shared his incredible journey with the dinosaurs.
Elias's adventure had ended, but his gratitude for the kindness of his dinosaur friends stayed forever.
