Eti tiptoes through the glowing jungle. A tiny chirp makes him stop.

A tiny dinosaur peeks from behind a stone. It chirps brightly—leaves sparkle like stars.

Eti reaches out. The purple fern hums low. His ears wiggle—surprised!

The dinosaur giggles. It taps its foot—a nearby flower sings along.

Eti taps his trunk too hard. Vines giggle wildly—one fruit bounces right onto the dinosaur’s head.

Under the sparkling moon, they dance together. Stomps make the jungle sing.

A blue butterfly flutters into circle—dancing in time with music.

Dawn touches treetops. They stop. The dinosaur curls against Eli’s leg—sleepy, content.
