'i promise"
" promise you won't -------"
"go go" she said
jack went
annie followed
when they stepped off the ladder
the pteranodon gave them a kind book
annie blew a kiss at him " be back soon, henry"
she said cheerfully
"shush" said jack. and he led the way through the ferns
slowly and carefully
when he reached the bollom of the hill, he kneeled behind a fat bush
annie knelt beside him and started to speak
"shush" jack put his finger to his lips
annie made a face
jack peeked out at the triceratops
the dinosaur was incredibly big.
bigger than a truck.
he was eating the flowers off a magnolia tree
jack slipped his notebook out of his pack. he wrote eat flowers
annie nudged him
jack ignored her. he studied the triceratops again. he wrote eat slowly
annie nudged him hard
jack looked at her
annie pointed to herself
she walked her fingers through the air
she pointed to the dinosaur . she smiled
was she teasing?
she waved at jack
jack started to grab her
she laughed and jumped away.
she fell into the grass.in full view of the trceratops
" get back" whispered jack
too late. the big dinosaur had spotted annie
he gazed down at her from the hilltop
half of a magnolia flower was sticking out of his mouth
"oops" said annie
"get back " jack shouted at her
he looks nice jack
nice? watch out for his horns, annie
no he's nice jack
nice?
but the triceratops just gazed calmly down at annie
then he turned and loped away
down the side of the hill
bye said annie
she turned back to jack" see?"
jack grunted. but he wrote in his notebook " come on. let's look around some moer" said annie
as jack started after annie, he saw something glittering in the tall grass,.
he reached out and picked it up
a medallion
a gold medallion
a letter was engraved on the medallion
a fancy m
" oh man. someone came here before us" jack said softly
