David, a seven-year-old bursting with energy, loved two things more than anything: dinosaurs and keeping his toys organized. He knew where every single dinosaur was in his collection, from the tiny Compsognathus to the giant Brachiosaurus. One day, while playing with his toy spaceship, a thought struck him. "What if I could organize things on the Moon?" he wondered aloud.
His pet parrot, Sophia, tilted her head and chirped, "The Moon? That's a long way!" Sophia, despite being 54 years old (in parrot years, of course!), was just as energetic as David and always happy to help.
David grinned. He knew just the thing - his time travel watch! He strapped it on, set the dial to "The Moon," and pressed the button. The room swirled around him, a kaleidoscope of colors and light. Then, just as suddenly, it stopped.
David gasped. He was standing on the Moon! The ground beneath his feet was a dusty gray, covered in craters. Above him, the Earth hung in the sky like a giant blue and green marble. Stars twinkled all around, brighter than he’d ever seen.
"Wow!" David exclaimed, bouncing a little. There was no gravity here, so he felt light as a feather.
"Look!" Sophia chirped from his shoulder, pointing a wing at a giant, scaly claw peeking out from behind a crater.
Cautiously, they walked towards it. As they got closer, the creature to whom the claw belonged stepped into the starlight. It was a dragon! But unlike any David had seen in his books. Its scales shimmered with a thousand colors, shifting like rainbows as it moved.
"Hello," David said, a little nervous.
The dragon blinked its large, golden eyes. "Greetings," it rumbled, its voice like distant thunder. "Are you here to help with the Great Moon Tidy?"
David's eyes widened. "The Great Moon Tidy?" he repeated.
The dragon sighed. "Yes. You see, we dragons love collecting moon rocks, but we aren't very good at organizing them. They're scattered all over!"
David beamed. "Organizing is my favorite!" He pulled out his trusty backpack, which, thankfully, had traveled through time with him. Inside were colorful boxes and labels.
Sophia fluttered around excitedly. "This is going to be fun!"
David and Sophia spent the rest of the day helping the dragon sort and label its moon rock collection. They put shiny rocks in one box, rough rocks in another, and even found a special box for rocks that looked like Earth animals.
The dragon was overjoyed. "Thank you!" it boomed, its tail swishing happily. “You’ve brought order to the Moon!”
As much as David wanted to stay, he knew it was time to go home. He hugged the dragon goodbye, promising to visit again soon. He and Sophia then stepped back into the shimmer of the time travel watch.
Back in his room, surrounded by his dinosaurs, David smiled. He’d traveled to the Moon, met a friendly dragon, and most importantly, helped bring a little organization to the vast universe! And he knew, with a thrill of excitement, that this was only the beginning of his organizing adventures.
