Dax was a dinosaur, a plastic dinosaur to be exact. He was an inside toy and that's what he was supposed to do, stay inside. But Dax never wanted to stay inside.

So one day he decided that he was going to go outside. Dax climbed down the shelf and hopped onto the floor. He quickly opened the door and stepped out. Spotting the door he made a run for it, hoping to not get caught.

Then out of nowhere huge dogs appeared and blocked Dax's path.

One dog was a small, black dog and the other was a big, brown dog.

"I must find a way to get past these dogs," Dax says looking around the room. His eyes land on a small tennis ball. "That will do." Dax took the ball and threw it across the room.

The dogs ran after it. The big dog caught it in her mouth.

The other dog went crazy. He really likes tennis balls.

Dax made a mad dash to the door and heaved it open quickly slipping outside.

Dax was finally outside.

The outside world wasn’t so bad. The grass was a green that Dax has never even seen before.

The sky was a beautiful blue and the tree leaves waved in the wind.

“What is that!” Dax says with excitement in his voice. Running over to the yellow daffodil that was in the distance. It’s so beautiful the yellow stood out from the it’s green surroundings, like it was meant to be looked at. It smelled sweet like a candy store and it was soft like a blanket.

Small pine cones and needles littered the ground making a crunching sound whenever they are stepped on.

Next to the pine cone was a small mushroom. It was a fleshy little umbrella to the grass around it, a home to small beetles and ants.
