    Marta was a curious little girl who loved to learn about animals. One day, she was watching a documentary about animals on TV. Mesmerized by the creatures on screen, her curiosity was piqued.

    After the show ended, Marta went outside to play in their lovely garden. Her mother, busy in the kitchen, kept an eye on her through the window.

    Marta loved playing in the garden. She would pretend to be an explorer, discovering new animals and plants. On this day, her adventure took an exciting turn.

    Suddenly, Marta spotted something unusual. It was a small, green creature crawling on the ground. Marta was ecstatic. 'A dinosaur!', she thought.

    Suddenly, Marta's excited voice echoed through the house. 'Mom! Mom! There's a dinosaur in the garden!', she yelled.

    Her mother, surprised yet amused, walked outside. She saw Marta pointing at a small, green lizard. 'That's not a dinosaur, sweetheart. It's a lizard.', she explained.

    Marta looked at the lizard, then back at her mother. She was disappointed but also fascinated. 'Can I still play with it, mom?', she asked.

    'Of course, sweetheart. But be gentle.', her mother said. Marta was thrilled. She spent the rest of the day playing with the lizard, her new friend.

    At the end of the day, Marta came back inside. She was tired but happy. 'Mom, I think I made a new friend today.', she said with a wide smile.

    That night, Marta's mother tucked her into bed. 'Today was a big day for you, wasn't it?', she asked. Marta nodded, her eyes shining with excitement.

    'I can't wait to tell my friends about the dinosaur... I mean, the lizard!', Marta said, giggling. Her mother kissed her goodnight, looking forward to more of Marta's adventures.
