Dinosaur Date

Inflatable raft

When I woke up the next day, it was 4:30 a.m. and it was bright. I was just in time to watch the sunrise in Isla Nublar. Another day, more dinosaurs. Tim and I walked around the building and we found a baby dinosaur. Tim said it’s a baby triceratops. I took some hay and fed the baby dinosaur. It quickly finishes the hay. I guess the triceratops is very hungry. Just like me…

When Dr Grant finally woke up, it was 5 a.m. and there’s only 6 hours left before the ship reaches Costa Rica. The first thing Dr Grant heard was our laughter. Tim was just happy, but I’m STARVING. Then Dr Grant said he’s going into the park to find a sensor. He told us to wait for him here but I’m too scared about the “meat-asaurus” dinosaurs.  We went along with Dr Grant and started to walk. It was a lovely day, the sky was pink and there was a mist close to the ground. We stopped and watch some dinosaurs near the lake.

We found a sensor but it wouldn’t work. Bummer. We were hoping the next one would work when we heard something roar. Some kind of mean dinosaur was chasing the “veggie-saurus” out of the lake. We climbed the nearest tree just to be safe. We waited up there until the dinosaurs were gone. After an hour, Dr Grant finally said, “We must go.” I was so scared. What if the dinosaurs came back and eat us? I’ll never be able to get that Macbook Pro I’ve been begging from dad for months! Luckily, Tim finally gave an idea. “Why don’t we go on the river? It’s close to here,” he said. Tim you genius!

Tim and I, glad the dinosaur's gone!

We went back to the shed and found an inflatable raft, a gas cylinder, map of the island, a tranquilizer gun and some tranquilizer darts. Oh yeah we also find a sleeping dinosaur. With blood in its mouth. Eww. Oh gosh, I HAVE to cough. I couldn’t hold it anymore! My lungs felt heavy and I made some coughing noises behind my hand. Tim gave me the “please-shut-up-Lex” look. Sorry, Tim, but I just couldn’t hold it. I coughed. And yeah, the dinosaur woke up. Lucky for that guy, he just woke up and saw breakfast in front of his eyes. I only had leaves in front of my eyes when I woke up! Back to the story, Dr Grant took the inflatable raft and we ran to the lake. We hopped on and Dr Grant started rowing. Oh well, lucky us dinosaurs can’t swim right? No. They can. When the dinosaur got close enough to us, Dr Grant picked up the tranquilizer gun and shot it. The dinosaur looked back and saw another dinosaur taking its food. Then it ran after it. Thank God they’re finally gone.

As we went down the river, we saw two dinosaurs looking at each other. They were acting weirdly. The dinosaurs were hooting, drinking and looking at each other the whole time. Dr Grant told us to lie down in the bottom of the raft. Oh, I see. They’re having a date! How cute! I didn’t know dinosaurs date before they get married just like humans!
