Question

    Last month, 4-year-old Riley ran from his house with his family. Their home in Paradise, California was on fire.

Paradise is a wet place. But this year it got almost no rain. The plants and trees were very dry. So when the fire started, it spread out of control and became the worst fire in Califoria’s history. Lots of houses were burned down, including Riley’s.

Riley took his favorite toy before he left. It was a dinosaur（恐龙）. However, he left everything else. Riley’s aunt, Tanya, posted a photo of Riley on Facebook asking for a toy dinosaur because he missed his collection. Soon, boxes started coming.

“All my friends shared my Facebook post,” Tanya said. Now, Riley has about 100 dinosaurs. The family is thankful because the toys are helping Riley deal with his feelings. “Sometimes he’ll cry and say ‘I want to go home,’” Tanya said. He is excited to talk about his new toys, though. “I got lots of dinosaurs. I even got a sweater with my name and a dinosaur on it,” he said.

Riley has bagged up some of the toys. He wants to share them with kids who don’t have anything. “It’s a good lesson for him to pay it forward,” Tanya said, “This means to share the good things he received with others. Maybe they will do the same for someone else.”
