Chapter 3: True or False

While the others are doing their things, Lincoln went to introdus Winston to Littlefoot's grandparents.

(Grandpa Longneck) Well it's really nice to meet you Winston. Welcome to our valley.

(Winston) Thank you. I have to admit, this world is really nice.

While Winston and Grandpa Longneck continued to talk, Lincoln saw the rest of his sisters not too far away. So he walked over to them so he can say something to them. But when he got closer, he saw that they were talking to Mr. Thicknose.

(Mr. Thicknose) He seems ok. But regretly, I find that he has a bad aditude. He doesn't even realise that I'm the eldest and wisest in The Great Valley. He needs to learn respect.

Now Lincoln was sad about what he heard. All he can do now was walk randemly around the valley.

That night, Lincoln sat in front of a pond and looked at his refreton in the water. Just then, Lori came by.

(Lori) Lincoln. Why aren't at the nest?

No response.

(Lori) Lincoln?

(Lincoln) Are you and the others mad at me?

(Lori) Of corese i'm mad at you. I'm mad at you for not being at the nest. Why are you asking this?

(Lincoln) I saw you guys talking to Mr. Thicknose. Am I that disrespectful?

Now Lori can see Lincoln's depreshon. She that knew how to help him feel better.

(Lori) Lincoln. I know you're not disrespectful. But some how you got off on the wrong foot with Mr. Thicknose.

(Lincoln) Sometimes I think he just doesn't like kids.

(Lori) Grandpa Longneck told me that Mr. Thicknose volentiered to share his wisdom with you and the others. To give you benefit of what he's learned over the years. Lincoln. You have us and we have you. We all have Mom and Dad and they have us. Littlefoot has his grandparents and they have him. But Mr. Thicknose has nobody. He has nothing but his dignity.

(Lincoln) Dignity? What's that?

(Lori) It's the feeling that you're appreciated to others. And you should never do something to rob someone of it.

(Lincoln) Thanks Lori. I feel a lot better now.

(Lori) And I won't tell anyone else what we talked about. It'll be our little secret.

(Lincoln) Thanks. I'm ready to head back now.

So Lincoln and Lori walked back to Littlefoot's nesting ground. When they got there, they went to sleep.

5 hours later, Lincoln felt something tutch his head. He woke up and saw what it was. It was snow.

(Lincoln) Snow. That's means soon the whole valley will be covered with it.

However, the snow didn't last very long.

(Lincoln) I better tell the others in the morning.

Right now, all that Lincoln could do was go back to sleep.

The next morning, Lincoln told Mr. Thicknose what happened last night.

(Mr. Thicknose) Ha ha ha ha. Are you kidding me? Snow?

(Lincoln) Yeah. So we better start storing up some leaves before The Great Valley get's all covered up with snow and all the green will be killed.

(Mr. Thicknose) Ha ha ha ha. Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln. Snow never happens in The Great Valley. Snow only comes in places the Far Walkers come here to get away from. Now, where is Ducky, Spike, and Tickles? They were soposed be here a minute ago.

(Lincoln) I'll go find them.

So Lincoln went to find Ducky.

Cera and Lola's mad lessons have really payed off for Ducky and Tickles. The whole Swimmer family, except Spike, was swimming around in the pond. Ducky and Tickles were playing with their siblings Diver, Thunder, and Skippy.

(Ducky) RARE! Look at me. I am a shark.

As the 5 played their game, Mama and Papa Swimmer spotted Lincoln coming.

(Mama Swimmer) Well. Hello Lincoln.

(Lincoln) Hay. Where's Ducky, Spike, and Tickles? We were soposed to meet up with Mr. Thicknose today.

(Papa Swimmer) Oh. I'm sorry Lincoln. But Diver, Thunder, and Skippy really wanted to play with them today.

Lincoln looked at the Swimmer kids and Tickles playing in the water. However, all that Spike can do was watch from the side of the pond.

(Mama Swimmer) Ducky. Tickles. Spike is feeling left out.

(Ducky) We can not help it.

(Tickles) Who cares if we can swim and he can not?

Ducky and Tickles are still mad at Spike for what happened yesterday.

(Lincoln) Anyway. I'm sure you'll believe me that I saw snow fall last night.

(Papa Swimmer) Ha ha ha ha. Good one Lincoln. But like Mr. Thicknose told us, snow can never come anywhere in The Great Valley.

(Lincoln) Well don't come running to me when the whole valley get's covered with snow.

Somehow, Spike believed what Lincoln said was true. Then something pushed him into the water. He looked behind him and yet, he saw Tippy.

(Tippy) Hiya. Hiya.

And even Tippy's mother was here.

(Tippy's mother) Way hello there. We meet again. And where's your family?

But Spike didn't have to answer sense the whole Swimmer family and Lincoln came by.

(Mama Swimmer) Hello. We're his family.

(Tippy's mother) Really? How...nice.

(Papa Swimmer) Well you see. Spike lost his family and

(Tippy's mother) Spike. Is that his name? Well I think it's brilient.

(Tippy) Spike, Spike, Spike.

(Mama Swimmer) There weren't any other Spike-tails in The Great Valley

(Tippy's mother) Until now. So you took him in.

(Papa Swimmer) Yes we did. Though it hasn't always been easy.

At that respons, Spike and Tippy were so close to Ducky and Tickles that they were about to fall in the water.

(Ducky) Mover over you 2.

(Tickles) Move over.

But Spike and Tippy have already pushed Ducky and Tickles into the water.

(Ducky and Tickles) Mama. Mama.

(Mama Swimmer) Oh you 2. Just swim dears.

Ducky and Tickles managed to swim but now they were more mad at Spike.

(Tippy's mother) Say. Do you think Spike would injoy visiting my herd? I mean just for the day. He could see how his own kind lives.

(Papa Swimmer) Would you like that Spike?

Spike nodded his head yes.

(Papa Swimmer) Well okay then.

(Tippy's mother) We'll have him back before the Bright Circle leaves the sky.

So Spike went with Tippy and her mother to the rest of the Far Walkers. And now Ducky and Tickles were feeling left out.

(Skippy) Shile we go back in the water guys?

(Ducky) Maybe later.

(Tickles) I'm with you.
