Finally I'm working on the next story for Of Leaf-eaters and Sharpteeth. I hope it was worth the wait.

All rights for The Land Before Time goes to Universal Animation Studios.

The planet earth. A world of constant change in unpredictable weather. Our home. millions of years ago it was home to the dinosaurs. Although these creatures seem unlike us, in many ways they weren't different at all. Like people, they came in all sizes and shapes and colors

Some could jump.

Some could climb trees.

Some could swim and some couldn't.

Some could even whistle.

And just like all of us sometimes, some had a hard time getting to sleep.

Like Ducky the Swimmer who was having a hard time sleeping because of her foster brother, Spike the Spike-tail. Because of his size, Ducky couldn't get enough space to sleep as he was squishing her in between him and their mother.

By then, she managed to free herself and said, "Move over Spike. I do not have room. No no no."

By then, she went and climbed down from him.

"You sure take up a lot of space. Every sleepy time it is the same thing."

Ducky then tried to sleep again. But Spike began to sleep rumble so loud that it woke her up. Until he ended up blowing her off of him.

"Spike. Spike! Please not tonight." She said as she walked to his face. "Do not make the sleep rumbles. I am so tired. Please please please."

Ducky then tried to sleep on his nose. But as she did, Spike rolled over as Ducky ended up getting her belly stuck underneath Spike. She tried to pull herself free. But she was completely stuck.

"Oh. Spike. Please get off of me." She said but he didn't move. Making her sigh annoyed.

The next morning, Ducky, who was very tired because of Spike, went with him to meet up with Littlefoot and Cera and Petrie and Chomper and Ruby as they met up with the thicknosed dinosaur (Pachyrhinosaurus), Mr. Thicknose. The oldest and wisest in the whole Great Valley who agreed to be the teacher for the children in the valley.

"Long long ago. Farther back than anyone can remember. Great creatures first crawed out from the murky ooze onto the dry lands. And thus begining the age of the dinosaurs."

"Excuse me Mr. Thicknose." Said Chomper.

"I bagge your pardon?"

"If it's too far back for anyone to remember, how do you know it happened?"

"I, uh. Well we know it happened...well if it haven't we wouldn't be here."

"Duh." Said Cera.

"Yeah. But how do you know the first ones came from the murky ooze?" Chomper asked again.

"Me Flyer." Said Petrie. "Maybe family come down form high hills."

"I'm a Fast-runner." Said Ruby. "And as I'm a Fast-runner, then my family ran from far away sense we are Fast-runners. Maybe"

"And Ducky's family are Swimmers." Said Littlefoot. "Maybe they swam right up from The Big Water."

"I do wonder where Spike's family came from." Said Chomper.

"Where ever it was it must have been a long walk because he's awfully tired." Said Cera.

"Ducky tired too." Said Petrie.

Until, Spike rolled over and knocked Ducky off of him. Making the others laugh at that outcome.

"Young-ones please." Mr. Thicknose said to get them back to the lesson. "Ducky, was your herd up all night gathering tree-stars?"

"No."

"Then please try to stay awake."

Spike laughed at that. But Ducky was starting to get mad at him now.

"That is no not fare. You were asleep to. Why does,"

"Ducky!" Mr. Thicknose shouted. "Will you please be a little quieter? Like Spike."

Spike laughed again. And now Ducky was getting mad again.

"Now, uh, where was I?"

"You were telling us where we came from." Said Chomper.

"Ah yes. Well,"

"And then I asked how you know and,"

"I remember. Perhaps we should talk about something else."

"Why to go Chomper." Cera said to him.

"Food gathering. I have had the opitunity to study the many mepheds used by different herds to gain substince of the green food and Scaly-swimmers here which srounds us in our firtle Great Valley. Spike-tails and Three-horns use the Crainio Impactors mephed. Raming trees with their heads to make tree-stars fall. Flyers use their wings to fly to the tip top branches,"

"You know, we Two-claws in this valley can dip mouths into the water to catch," Chomper tried to say but,

"Yes Chomper. I know. But I'm not talking about Two-claws at the moment." Mr. Thicknose said cutting him off. "Now where was I? Three-horns. Two-claws. Spike-tails. Oh yes. Oh yes. But perhaps the most,"

"No no no!" Ducky shouted as she tried to keep Spike from eating some tree-stars as she grabbed them and tried to run off. But Spike got to them and ate all of them. "Spike. Those were my special tree-stars. Papa game them just to me."

The moment Spike burped, Ducky was starting to get even madder.

"With all these interuptions I can't think straight. You two move away from each other. Ducky you move here. Spike, over there."

Both of them did as they were told and moved to those spots.

"Aha." Mr. Thicknose said as he looked ahead. A herd of Spike-tails were seen in the open field "A perfect example of what I was just relating to. Notise that some of the Spike-tails graze. While others are using the Crainio Impactors Meaphed I spoke of earlier. These Spike-tails are Far-walkers. They come to The Great Valley every now and then on their travels. Searching for food. Lucky for us, we have plenty here for all. These food visiters are welcome."

Just then, Ducky blew raspberry at Spike. Until Mr. Thicknose got their attention.

"Ahem! To continue. Food gathering. Perhapps the most intresting techneak of all is that used by Hollow-horns. The Hollow so loudly from the horns on their heads that tree-stars just fall all around them."

Unknown to them, Chomper walked over to a fallen log.

"Of course, some trees will not give their green-food so easily. Perhaps the most relectent is this one here. Just above me. It's brod pointed leafy greens. Those suckulent to the taste,"

Before he could finish, Chomper blew into the log and made a loud noise that got Mr. Thicknose to scream and as he ran. The others moved out of the way as he looked back but didn't watch where he was going and slammed into the tree as some tree-stars fell along with a purple tree-sweet that landed on his head.

"What do you know. It works." Said Chomper.

Of course, Mr. Thicknose just gave Chomper a durty look.

"Class dismissed!"

With that said, Chomper began to feel upset as he grabbed the tree-sweet and walked away with the others.
