John-Ray and the Time Travel Adventure
John-Ray en die tydreisavontuur
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named John-Ray. He loved dinosaurs more than anything in the world. One day, while playing in his backyard, he found a mysterious book. As he opened it, a bright light surrounded him and he was transported back in time to the land of dinosaurs! Eens op 'n tyd was daar 'n klein seuntjie met die naam John-Ray. Hy was meer lief vir dinosourusse as enigiets in die wêreld. Op 'n dag, terwyl hy in sy agterplaas gespeel het, het hy 'n geheimsinnige boek gevind. Toe hy dit oopmaak, het 'n helder lig hom omring en hy is terug in tyd na die land van dinosourusse vervoer!

In the land of dinosaurs, John-Ray felt a little scared at first. He saw huge dinosaurs like T-Rex and Triceratops walking around. But then, he remembered that he was on an amazing adventure and he needed to be brave. John-Ray wanted to learn more about these magnificent creatures. In die land van dinosourusse het John-Ray eers 'n bietjie bang gevoel. Hy het groot dinosourusse soos T-Rex en Triceratops sien rondloop. Maar toe onthou hy dat hy op 'n wonderlike avontuur was en dat hy dapper moes wees. John-Ray wou meer oor hierdie manjifieke wesens leer.

John-Ray walked up to a friendly dinosaur and asked if he could learn about dinosaurs. The dinosaur happily agreed and taught John-Ray all about their names, what they ate, and how they lived long ago. John-Ray listened carefully and asked many questions like a confident explorer. John-Ray het na 'n vriendelike dinosourus gestap en gevra of hy van dinosourusse kan leer. Die dinosourus het gelukkig ingestem en John-Ray alles oor hul name geleer, wat hulle geëet het en hoe hulle lank gelede geleef het. John-Ray het aandagtig geluister en baie vrae gevra soos 'n selfversekerde ontdekkingsreisiger.

After learning so much, John-Ray felt really smart and confident. He decided to share his knowledge with other kids. He wrote a book about dinosaurs, drew colorful pictures, and even gave a presentation at his school. Everyone was amazed by his bravery and knowledge! Nadat hy soveel geleer het, het John-Ray baie slim en selfversekerd gevoel. Hy het besluit om sy kennis met ander kinders te deel. Hy het 'n boek oor dinosourusse geskryf, kleurvolle prente geteken en selfs 'n aanbieding by sy skool gelewer. Almal was verstom deur sy dapperheid en kennis!

Finally, it was time for John-Ray to go back home. He said goodbye to his new dinosaur friends and jumped back into the book. As he closed it, he found himself back in his own backyard. John-Ray was proud of himself for being brave and confident on his incredible time travel adventure! Uiteindelik was dit tyd vir John-Ray om terug te gaan huis toe. Hy het sy nuwe dinosourusvriende gegroet en teruggespring in die boek. Toe hy dit toemaak, het hy hom terug in sy eie agterplaas bevind. John-Ray was trots op homself omdat hy dapper en selfversekerd was op sy ongelooflike tydreisavontuur!
