New dinosaur friend.

Max eagerly placed his online order for a toy dinosaur. He waited for his package with a bright smile on his face. When the package arrived, Max felt a strange twist in his stomach. He soon discovered that he had mistakenly ordered a real dinosaur instead of a toy.

The next day, Max approached his front door with excitement. There, he found a huge mystery box sitting on his porch. Max tried to lift the heavy box, but it would not budge easily. His mind was full of wonder and worry as he decided to open it.

When Max tore open the box, he was met with an amazing surprise. Two bright, golden eyes blinked at him from within. A friendly T-Rex named Terry stepped out, causing a little commotion. Terry accidentally knocked over a flowerpot and let out a deep burp.

Max panicked as Terry made his way into the backyard. The dinosaur bumped into the fence and broke it into pieces. Wood fragments scattered all over the grassy yard. Max realized that keeping a real dinosaur hidden would be very challenging.

Terry caught the smell of something delicious in the air. He followed the aroma into the kitchen with excitement. In a funny rush, he gobbled up a whole pizza along with its box. Max was both shocked and amused as he saw Terry enjoying human food.

Max tried very hard to keep Terry a secret from his parents and his nosy neighbor. But Terry was curious and wandered all around the backyard. His little footprints left trails that caught the eye of everyone nearby. Max’s heart raced as he saw his dinosaur friend exploring wildly.

Max came up with a clever plan to hide Terry from the world. He dressed Terry with sunglasses, a scarf, and a cozy hoodie. Even though Terry looked a bit silly, he played along happily. Max called him 'cousin Jerry from Canada' to keep everyone guessing.

One quiet day, Terry discovered a secret stash in the garage. The scent of frozen pizzas made his tummy rumble with excitement. Before Max could stop him, Terry devoured forty-two frozen pizzas. The melted pizzas created a messy pile on the garage floor.

Max decided to let Terry have a fun run in the schoolyard at night. They tiptoed into the empty playground to play together. A friendly security guard soon spotted them during their escapade. Quick as a flash, Max and Terry played a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek.

One evening, Max received a surprising phone call that made him stop and listen. Scientists from a research lab explained that the real dinosaur mistake was an accident. They kindly asked for Terry to be returned to a safe place. Max felt a mix of sadness and understanding as he prepared for a difficult goodbye.

The next morning, kind scientists arrived to take Terry away. Max and Terry shared a warm goodbye with many hugs and smiles. Even though Terry had to leave, his smile still shone brightly. Max promised that he would always remember his special dinosaur friend.

Just when Max felt his heart grow heavy, he received a mysterious package in the mail. Inside, a note from the research lab said that he could visit Terry soon. Max felt a spark of hope light up his day. He knew that his adventure with his dinosaur friend was not truly over.
