Tim's Time Travel Trip
On a sunny day, our classmate Tim got an opportunity to time travel as part of a school science project. His first stop was the time of Dinosaurs. He saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex, learned that it was a carnivore, and swiftly hid behind a tree to avoid being seen. Next, he visited ancient Egypt, where he saw the Pyramids being built.
