My dinosaur
By Angela Berrett
The Angelamongasaurus(de’moffkik)
My
dinosaur used to eat a very rare bird that is found under the moon’s cheese.
Since you probably don’t understand that, I’ll tell you where to find my
dinosaur. The mongasaurus is found lurking in the star cluster of Alpha
Centauri on the planet Kiff (Galaxy Nergd) ’s green moon, Cheesepuff. This
dinosaur rarely likes to be seen, so it spends its time burrowing and making
all sorts of strange tunnels underground. Scientists have not found the
dinosaur, and if they did, they’d panic. I think that’s another reason why my
dinosaur likes to burrow around underground, to escape nerdy scientists.
Now,
about that bird. The bird my dinosaur eats is a strange one. It’s called the
mimbo bird. Mimbo birds used to live on Earth, but they have psychic powers and
foretold that strange and evil things would happen there (such as D-Day and
Armageddon), so they flew to the nearest star cluster, where they dug their
homes under the moon’s cheese, just where the dinosaurs live.
Even
though the birds could foretell the future, they were stupid. They knew there
were dinosaurs on planet Kiff, but didn’t take time to figure out where they
lived. So, naturally, a dinosaur caught one, served it to his family for
dinner, and they found it as a very good treat. So, word spread to other
families that it was good, so the bird went on the dinosaurs’ main menu every
day. The bird got rarer and rarer, until it became extinct. But then, suddenly,
mimbo birds’ ghosts started to pop up out of the ground and scare the dinosaurs
out of their wits. So now they just eat plants.
These
dinosaurs lived in strange burrows that could go on and on for miles. The
typical family cave had a very far tunnel that everyone could hide in if there
were any mimbo bird ghost sightings. Also, there was the occasional scientist
that popped up from Mars, or Elcythtin (Galaxy Miletheo), or Pyxtikkolk (Galaxy Ergbigt), or wherever. No dino wanted to
be found by scientists, because of what happened a long time ago. By Earth
years, in 1492 A.D., just as Columbus was landing in Haiti, a scientist by the
name of Forg
Boogis from Pyxtikkolk discovered the planet Kiff and
the green moon. As he was taking a soil sample, he came across the hidden door to
a dino burrow. He explored further and stumbled across a dino by the name of
Moo. Unfortunately for Moo, the scientist had tranquilizer darts. Moo was shot
and taken back to be examined. Whenever mother dinos want to frighten their
children to stop them exploring on the surface, they tell the story of
"Unfortunate Moo."
These
dinos loved to play Marco Polo in their swimming pools. They had heard over
their scientific eavesdropper transmitters some English kids playing this in a
kiddie pool once. The dinos considered it their favorite water game. One dino
would yell "Marco!" and everyone else would bellow back
"Polo!" The Marco dino had a blindfold on. "Marco" was
supposed to be able to tag dinos without seeing them. If he couldn’t find
anyone, he could yell Marco so his friends could yell Polo. When they yelled
"Polo," the Marco would be able to tell where the others were by the
sound of where their voices were.
Then,
suddenly, everybody died.
