"What's gonna happen to the goat? He's gonna eat the goat?!" I'm panicking that the most evil of all of those horrid dinosaurs is going to eat that poor, innocent goat.
"What's the matter kid, you never had lamb chops before?"
"I happen to be a vegetarian," I say, annoyed. Couldn't Gennaro tell that before? Timmy doesn't care about the goat though. He's really excited to see the T. Rex. Well, I'm not!
Nothing happens. The tour is moving on now. I have to admit, I am pretty disappointed about not seeing the T. Rex. Everyone seems really annoyed at not seeing the dinosaurs. But now Dr Grant's jumping out of the car! Everyone seems to be following him, so me and Timmy go as well (though Timmy would anyway). I don't really think this is part of the tour.
Keeping up with Dr Grant, I can't stop staring at his face. I fall over, for obvious reasons…
"Are you okay?" He asks, but doesn't seem that focused. I just keep hold of his hand, living in this moment. Then he lets go, and I see what he was looking at. A living, breathing dinosaur! A triceratops? Not that I'm interested. I just saw it in one of Timmy's books. But I've never seen an actual dinosaur before! It excites me, as well as scaring me. I just want to keep my distance. Luckily, the vet guy tells us that she's sick and under a drug that makes her feel sleepy. Timmy, just went straight up to the dinosaur to get a nice, close look. I think Gennaro nervous too, staying slightly further back than I am. I bet he would have been really scared if he saw that poor goat being eaten!
Seeing Dr Grant resting his head on the Triceratops makes me feel really happy inside, and I bet there's a smile on my face. Anything he does makes me feel safe, and I'm edging closer to the dinosaur.
Luckily, Dr Grant and Ellie (with the help of Timmy) managed to find out what's wrong with the Trike (I hear Ellie call her that, it's very nice sounding). Thunder is starting and there's nothing I want more than to get back to Grandpa!
