Down below, way down there, it saw a house among the trees and thought to itself, I can go roar around that house and scare people.
Hahaaaaaa and away it blew, down, down to where people lived and trees grew. It swayed the trees crazily this way and that, and leaves swirled wildly, and in the house ... mom and dad and Ruby (like the precious gem) huddled at the front window, staring outside. The noise from the wind was huge, and the house creaked, and it was sort of scary for them, until suddenly ...
Suddenly, out of it's deep, dark cave sprang their defender, the ferocious Ninjasaurus Rex! It's eyes were sharply focused on the front window and on the wind that blew. "Woof," it declared mightily to the surging wind, which is a lot like, "Hey!" in ninjasaurus language. "Woof, woof!" Outside the house, the furious wind heard the terrifying sound, and fear filled up its very insides. Suddenly, the wind's strength was gone, and it squiggled back up to the clouds where it hid and whimpered. Never had it been so scared ever, ever before.
The family and their ninjasaurus snuggle together and watch as the calm settles wonderfully all around them, and then they go to bed, except Ninja stayed up to keep watch for awhile.
Later, Ruby told Grampa about the cool things that Ninja, their little dog, did.

And because every story has a lesson, what's Ninja's lesson for us? It's that we're a family, and we watch out for each other and help when it's needed. 😄 And friends, too. Family and friends do that for each other. And for others who need help, too; good people and good dogs do that.
