Once upon a time, there was a brave little boy named Ryder. One day, while he was playing in the backyard, he discovered something amazing: a huge dinosaur egg! Ryder was so excited. He knew that he had to take care of the egg until the dinosaur hatched.
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.
As time passed, Ryder and Buddy grew even closer. They learned from each other and became inseparable. Ryder taught Buddy how to count, and Buddy taught Ryder how to roar like a real dinosaur. Their friendship was full of love, trust, and endless adventures.
