One Christmas morning, when a boy finds a rocking horse under the tree, he climbs on his back, and they ride on the world's most wondrous adventures. Day after day, they joust with knights, capture outlaws, and explore the African plains. They even ride to the land of Tyrannosaurus rex.
But as the years pass, and the boy grows up, the rocking horse is stowed in the attic with the cobwebs and the other old toys. Oh, how he wishes his boy would return. For it is only the lively imaginaiton of a child that can bring him to life again . . .
