One day I was walking my dog Bessie near the creek and I found a massive egg. I ran back home and said "Mum, look what I found!". To my surprise, it started to hatch. Mum yelled at me to take it back to the creek quick.

I ran to the creek, and I threw it in. I ran as fast as I could back home. I locked all the doors and windows and went down into the basement. I stayed in that basement for 50 years!

When I emerged from the basement, the egg that was hatching had turned into a dinosaur! The dinosaur was called Bob and he came and trashed the house. I came and got my mum and quickly went back down to the basement and locked it. We lived there until we died.

The End
