Leo losing his favorite dinosaur in his messy room.
Leo loved to play. He had a mountain of toys: bright red cars, tall robot action figures, a box of colorful building blocks, and even a bouncy blue ball. The problem was, when Leo finished playing with one toy, he rarely put it away. Instead, he’d just drop it and move on to the next exciting thing. His room was a swirling chaos of plastic, fabric, and forgotten games. His mom often reminded him, "A place for everything, and everything in its place, Leo!" But her words seemed to vanish as quickly as the toys appeared.
One sunny Saturday morning, Leo decided he wanted to play with his favorite dinosaur, Rexy. Rexy was a magnificent green Tyrannosaurus Rex that roared when you pressed a button. Leo looked under his bed, behind the overflowing toy chest, and even inside his laundry basket. "Rexy! Where are you?" he muttered, a worried frown creasing his brow. He started tossing aside clothes, books, and other toys, making the room even messier. A small red car flew off his desk and bounced off the wall. A stack of comic books tumbled to the floor.
His older sister, Maya, walked in and gasped. "Leo! What happened in here? It looks like a tornado!" Maya, who was always very organized, shook her head. "No wonder you can't find anything."
Leo slumped onto a pile of clothes. "I can't find Rexy, and now I can't play!" he wailed.
Maya sighed. "Come on," she said, picking up a stray sock. "Let's work together. If we put things back where they belong, we might find him." Slowly, painstakingly, they began to clear a path. Under a pile of blankets, next to a forgotten juice box, there he was! Rexy, with his fierce plastic smile. Leo let out a cheer. He realized then that keeping things neat might actually help him find his treasures faster. Maybe his mom had a point after all.
