The Dinosaur Tree: A Small Tale

 There are many things to discover on a walking adventure. Sounds that are different or new from the everyday humdrum. Strange shapes that with a little imagination turn into fantastical monsters and animals. Have a small child accompany you on a walk and suddenly everything takes on new meaning. During one such adventure a strange noise was heard.

"Oh no!" she said, "there's a dinosaur!"

"Where?" I asked.

"There," and she pointed towards a spot off to the side. 

As I turn my head, I think I see movement out of the corner of my eye. But all I see is a tall tree, shaped impossibly strange. It's just a tree. Yet how remarkable that it looks like a dinosaur, I think to myself. I say nothing about the slight chuff I hear as we walk past it.
