Story Prompt: Time Machine (Daisy Diplodocus)
Here is a story prompt I gave to Pumpkin, followed by her response.
Once upon a time, two friends were walking home from school and found a time machineā¦
Ella and Liza got into a box, and then Liza pressed a button. Then a bright light flashed. When the light faded, they were in a place with plants, but no houses.
āI think weāre in the past,ā Ella said.
āYeah,ā said Liza, āI see a diplodocus!ā
The diplodocus looked at them.
āHello, Iām Daisy,ā she said. āWould you like a ride?ā
āYes, we would,ā Ella and Liza said together.
āThen climb onto my head,ā she said, and lowered her long neck.
Ella and Liza climbed on, and Daisyās head went up. Daisy walked around and said, āI eat the leaves on these trees. Theyāre yummy. I live with my little ones. Theyāre right here.ā
And she brought them to a nest. Two little baby diplodocuses were there.
āThatās Danny, and thatās Donut,ā Daisy said. āThey like to play. Would you like to play with them?ā
āDo you like playing tag?ā Donut asked.
āYeah, we do!ā said Liza.
āDo you like to play instruments?ā asked Ella.
āOh yeah,ā said Danny.
So, Donut and Liza played tag, and Ella and Danny played instruments.
āItās snack time, little ones!ā said Daisy.
Danny and Donut looked up and said, ābut weāre having so much fun!ā
āBut we can have your favorite leaves,ā Daisy said.
āOh yeah!ā they said, āleaf quesadillas!ā
Ella and Liza looked at each other.
āDid you say you eat leaves? We brought some spinach,ā they said.
āOoh, spinach! Is that a kind of leaf?ā asked Donut.
āYeah!ā said Liza.
āWe could put them in leaf quesadillas,ā said Ella.
Then they all made spinach leaf quesadillas.
āMmm, theyāre my new favorite,ā said Donut and Danny together.
āWait, how do you grow them?ā asked Danny.
āWith these seeds!ā Ella and Liza said together. Then Liza looked at her watch.
āOh no, itās getting late. Can you take us back to the time machine, Daisy?ā Ella asked.
āYeah, my watch says itās five oāclock!ā said Liza.
Daisy took them back to the time machine.
āElla, itās your turn to press the button,ā Liza said. āI did it last time.ā
The bright light flashed, and when the light faded, they were in the box outside their house.
