Every day, Ryder would wake up early and check on the egg. He would make sure it was warm and cozy, just like a mother dinosaur would. He would also talk to the egg and tell it stories, hoping that the little dinosaur inside could hear him.

One sunny morning, the egg finally cracked open. Ryder could not believe his eyes! A small dinosaur with green scales and big, kind eyes emerged from the broken shell. Ryder named him Buddy. From that day on, Ryder and Buddy became the best of friends. They would explore the backyard together, play hide-and-seek, and have lots of fun.
