I like to make up things that aren't real. I use my imagination. I was pretending that I was in a time machine. I set the date for a prehistoric time. I turned on the time machine，and it buzzed and whirred and spun madly. When it stopped spinning，I opened the door and stepped out into a very thick jungle. I listened careful to the sound of the jungle. I could hear strange animal noises，and the leaves were rustling. I wasn't sure that I had gone back in time or had just landed in a jungle somewhere in the twenty first century. It didn't take me long time to realize that I had indeed gone back in time. A very strange bird-like creature with a large beak flew overhead. I had never seen anything like it in my life. I took a few steps out into the long grass and ferns. I didn't want to go too far away from my time machine. I heard a noise over on my right side. There was a man who looked quite different from me. He was dressed in an animal skin，and he carried a big stick. I didn't want him to see me，so I hid behind a tree. He didn't speak any language that I could understand. He grunted at someone who must have been in the distance. Then，I felt the earth shake beneath my feet. I heard giant thumps on the ground as the floor of the jungle shook. The man in the animal skin began to run. I saw why he was running. A giant dinosaur appeared above the top of the trees. It was bigger than anything I had ever seen. My heart began to pound in my chest. It was coming toward me. I ran toward my time machine and jumped in. I set the dial for the twenty-first century. The machine whirred and buzzed. My time machine landed in the twenty-first century. I got away just in time.
