I'm not a very good narrator so I'll let you read my journal that I received at age 8. Here it is! :

~ Day 1~

Dear Journal,

Today me and Rex played near the windmill. I jumped on his back and he rode me to it, then the windmill operator smiled and put on a gust of wind. Rex held his ground but I flew off and landed in a patch of water lilies at the watering hole. It was funny because the mother dinosaurs chided me jokingly. For dinner we had golden mushrooms.

~ Day 2 ~

Dear Journal,

Today Rex and I found a strange hunched over willow tree that has thistles on it. We fear that it is a dark omen and it means something bad. We don't tell anybody.

~ Day 4 ~

Dear Journal,

I'm sorry I didn't write the other day. My quill broke. I got another though. Not much to tell though. It is a bleak hazy, humid day with absolutely nothing to do except find shade. Rex and I don't dare relax under the shady willow. I feel the omen closing in on Dinotopia....
