Pip was a small blue alien from outer space. He flew his shiny silver spaceship down to Earth. His ship landed softly on the soft green grass. Pip looked out the round window and saw a huge creature. It was a big green dinosaur with a long tail! Pip felt excited to meet a dinosaur friend.
Pip stepped outside of his ship into the bright warm sun. The big dinosaur walked over slowly and sniffed the little alien. "Hello! My name is Milo the dinosaur," said the friendly giant. Pip smiled and tapped his shiny yellow boots. "I am Pip, and I come from a far away star," he said with a wave. Milo gave a soft happy roar.
Milo wanted to show Pip around the colorful valley. They walked together to a cool river to look for food. Pip picked sweet red berries from a tall bush. Then Pip shared his glowing space snacks with his new friend. Milo loved the sweet treats and stomped his big feet with joy. They laughed and played games by the water all day.
Soon, the dark night sky began to fill with bright twinkling stars. Pip knew it was time to fly back to his home planet. He gave Milo a gentle hug and climbed into his spaceship. Milo waved his heavy tail as the ship zoomed up. Pip blinked his ship lights to say goodbye to his best dinosaur friend.
