The four-year-old son of a family in Africa spotted a picture of a little red dinosaur in a magazine and set his heart on having one. His mum knew it was impossible (the magazine was three years old).

On Christmas Eve, a box arrived from home. At first glance it seemed to contain something special for everyone – except for the four-year-old boy.

When they reached the bottom – they were stunned.

Before taping up the box, at the last minute the lady sending the box had tossed in the one item impossible for his parents to provide – something so insignificant to an adult, yet not for the child.

What was it? ….a red plastic dinosaur (in a box) from a fast-food restaurant promotion!
