Tim And His Time Machine

Once upon a time, a small boy named Tim lived in New York City. Tim loved animals and enjoyed adventures. One day, when he was asleep, an old man came in his dream and gave him a time machine. The Time Machine had two buttons – Red and Blue in colour. He pressed the red button which took him back to dinosaur’s era.

It was a dense and hilly jungle with tall trees, bushes and big rocks. Tim started walking in the jungle and saw Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurs, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Raptors and other animals. Tim then saw a big dinosaur, when he went near, he saw it was T-Rex. The T-Rex was crying loudly. Tim asked the T-Rex why are you crying? T-Rex said I have lost my baby dinosaur and I could not find my baby from the last two days. All my friends are looking for the baby dinosaur but no one is able to find him till now, so I am worried about my baby.

Tim consoled T-Rex and promised to help her in searching the baby dinosaur. Tim started walking towards the rocks and saw small foot prints of dinosaur. Tim followed the foot prints and reached near a river where he saw the baby dinosaur looking for her mother. Baby dinosaur said to Tim, “I tried to go back home but I lost my way.” Tim said, “Do not worry I will guide you and will take you back home.”

Tim and baby dinosaur started walking and finally reached home, T-Rex was very happy seeing the baby dinosaur. Both T-Rex and baby dinosaur cuddled each other. Tim was also happy seeing the mother and baby together. Tim, T-Rex and baby dinosaur had their dinner together. After dinner Tim wanted to go back home, he pressed the blue button and was on his bed, he then woke up from his dream. Tim was very happy to help T-Rex and baby dinosaur.
