Page 4 - A BOY AND HIS EGG

As the days went by, the baby dinosaur started to grow stronger and more

active. It would crawl around the house and play with Tim's toys. Tim was
amazed by how quickly the dinosaur was growing and developing.

One day, Tim realized that he had to name his pet dinosaur. After much
thought, he decided to name his pet dinosaur Spike, because of the small

spikes that were starting to grow on its back and he appeared to be part of the
Triceratops family of dinosaurs, and Tim had read that the Triceratops was an

herbivorous creature, and their primary food was low growing trees, leaves
and grass.

As the months went by Tim and Spike were inseparable. They would play

together, cuddle together, and explore the world together. Tim loved his pet
dinosaur more than anything in the world,.

Tim spent all of his free time reading books about how to take care of Spike.
He made sure the Spike had a warm place to sleep, plenty of food and water.
