STORYTIME: Day with the Dinosaurs--Part 3

CHOICE C
You think it´s just a rock so you quickly tell Oliver not to worry and continue to run to the Lion´s Cage. When you get there you can´t see the lions. Where could they be? You continue looking inside the lion cage. Suddenly you hear a loud roar coming from behind you. The lions?, you wonder. You slowly turn around and you see a .... dinosaur. It´s coming out of the trees stepping on everything in its way. It´s a tyrannosaurus rex, the meanest of all. You run as fast as you can towards the aviary screaming. You see Miss Lila and your classmates. You can still feel the T-Rex behind you. "HEY!" you shout. Miss Lila turns around and looks at you. "What´s the problem?" she asks. "A ty-ty-tyrannosaurus rex is behind me!", you stutter. But when you turn around, it´s gone! Was it your imagination?
THE END



CHOICE D
It definitely is a bone. You sit on the ground and look at it. It´s not a chicken bone, it´s very very big. What kind of bone could it be? You take the bone and run to show it to Miss Lila. "Well", she says, "this is no ordinary bone... it looks like a dinosaur bone!" You can´t believe what she is saying!!! Miss Lila calls the zoo manager and they quickly take the bone to the lab. Two months later the results from the lab come in: it´s a dinosaur bone and you are getting a $10,000 reward for finding it! What a trip to the zoo!
THE END

CHOICE E
You scream loudly! All your classmates see the dinosaur and start screaming, yelling and running all around the aviary. Miss Lila is scared too. The pterodactyl starts flapping its wings and flies down to where you and Oliver are standing! What should you do? You have to think of a plan to capture the pterodactyl. You look around and you see a net on the ground. You pick it up and put it over your head just as the dinosaur is flying above you. The pterodactyl gets caught in the net! You are a hero! Everyone claps for you. Some months later the zoo opens an exhibit so everyone can visit the pterodactyl. Your name is on the door of the exhibit and now everyone knows who saved the day!
THE END

CHOICE F
You are so scared you just stare at the pterodactyl. It´s flying right above you. It lands on top of your head and ... suddenly you hear a bell ringing ... a bell ... at the zoo? You hear it again and you see that it´s not a bell ... it´s your alarm clock ringing! It was all a dream and it is time for school!!! You better hurry or you will be late for the field trip to the zoo...
