Chapter 1: The ground is shaking at the Great Valley

Littlefoot woke up since the ground was shaking. That was nothing to be worried about because earthquakes were quite frequent in the Great Valley. He stood up, stretched his little body and searched for his mother. She had just gone off to bring her little Littlefoot something to eat.

The rest of his family was in the nest still sleeping peacefully. Littlefoot's father, a handsome longneck, feared by all Sharpteeth, who liked to go adventuring, Littlefoot's grandfather, an old and wise longneck, who always had a lot of advice, always tried to dispute resolusion whenever the old Threehorn had a bad temper seeking somebody to argue with, and still wasn't rosty in spite of his advanced age, and Littlefoot's grandmother, who was still good at her feet like her husband and very wise, too.

The little one stayed quiet since he didn't want to wake up his family watching the odd and flying buzzing things and the flyers, who flew around gracefully, but after a short while he got bored. While he was debating whether he should wake up his father, a familiar voice called his name.

"Littlefoot, come here little one. Breakfast."

Littlefoot wasn't capable of speaking yet, but he would be someday, he knew that. The Longneck was happy since his boredom was over. Looking forward to getting something to eat, he ran as fast as his little legs allowed him towards the tree that his mother had chosen for breakfast. However, while he was running, the earth shook again - this time considerably stronger than earlier–causing Littlefoot to trip. His mother tried to reach him. She was unsteady on her legs too since the earthshake was stronger than usual in the Great Valley.

"Are you alright, little one?" she asked her only son. Littlefoot stood up, walked towards his mother and laughed. He was a brave little Longneck compared to other dinosaur children, who were extremely frightened when the earth was shaking.

Now that Littlefoot's Grandparents and his father were wide awake, they had breakfast together eating tasty Treestars. Then they went to the watering place that offered the best water that could be found, but there was a terrible surprise to be discovered...
