Dino Land
“Come look! There are so many strange eggs everywhere! They are extremely fresh! And I can even feel heat!” shouted young Sam to his exhausted buddy Bob. Bob could hardly respond to Sam’s interest. They had not eaten anything for one day and they had not found anyone else since their ship was hit by a heavy storm and they floated to this unknown island.
“Does that mean some prehistoric creatures are still living on this island? We must be careful not to bump into one of those ferocious carnivores,” Bob responded slowly.
Sam and Bob set off searching. Suddenly they heard a loud crack. It sounded like an egg crack! A little green long-necked baby creature was crawling curiously out of its shell and wandering aimlessly.
“It looks like a baby Brachiosaurus!” said Sam with surprise. Then they heard a loud thundering noise. Boom! Boom! BOOM! It was getting louder and louder. Sam and Bob quickly hid in the bushes. A giant Brachiosaurus appeared and it was about three ships long and five storeys tall.
It seemed like the giant Brachiosaurus wanted to guard all of the other Brachiosaurus eggs that did not hatch yet. Then out of nowhere came a pack of Allosaurs waiting for a chance to charge. Sam and Bob tried to warn the Brachiosauruses but they didn’t understand. The Allosaurs suddenly charged at once. Eventually a baby brachiosaurus got brought down. Bob shot a gun at the aggressive Allosaur. It got very angry and charged again and again, and scratched Bob and knocked him down to the ground. Sam put a long log in front of the Allosaur and successfully tripped it over. Sam helped Bob run away.
But from the other direction there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex waiting for dinner. They shot it again and again but it was no use. The Tyrannosaurus Rex tired to take a bite but they managed to escape just in time. The hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex chased Sam and Bob all the way to the shore. Bob and Sam had no way to retreat but were forced to float in the ocean again. The Tryannosaurus Rex roared at them continuously due to its starvation.
After another day of floating in the ocean, Sam and Bob were luckily rescued by a passing fishing ship. Two years later, Sam and Bob wrote a very popular book called Dino Land. Many people believed Dino Land did not exist and was just a story. Only Sam and Bob knew the truth!
