Sophie Hershfield's Story

"Dinopolis"

You see Matt Cruse’s ship had crashed because of a storm. He is a scientist flying to India to study plants. A storm came, and then he crashed.

Matt left his ship in the opening and began walking towards the village. It was very hot out. He looked around. As he got closer to the village, he heard a loud thundering noise. As he looked forward, he saw something he would have never expected! Off in the distance, was a tyrannosaurus-rex!

Matt wondered what was going on and what was happening. He hid behind a tree so the t-rex wouldn’t see him. Luckily it didn’t see him. He looked around and the village was filled with dinosaurs. Matt knew he had to get closer to them. He was being very careful as he crept closer to the village.

“The dinosaurs are evil!” Thought Matt. “They must be! I mean look at that tyrannosaurus-rex over there that almost ate me!” Matt was very scared. “I remember studying dinosaurs and it said that they were big and ferocious. I really don’t want to go near them. Maybe I should go back to my airship. No I can’t go back. They might be waiting there as a trap. I bet they’re all lining up so they can eat me! I guess I have to face my fears and go back to the ship to leave this crazy island!” said Matt as he began walking back to his airship.
 
Matt looked out into the distance and saw…The dinosaurs at his ship! “I was right! They are trying to trap me!” Cried Matt.
 
Matt looked again. And then he realized something. They were not trying to eat him. They were fixing his ship.
 
“Hello. My name is Nathus the Compsognathus. Is this your ship? My friend Troody the Troodon and I were fixing it up.”
 
“Yes this is my ship.” Said Matt “Thanks for fixing it. And my name is Matt.”
 
“Oh it’s no problem.” Said Nathus.
 
And Matt realized they were not savaged beasts, but creatures just like him.
