Lulu Zipadoo!

Oooh. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Weeee.

-Woo-ooh-hoo.

-Ha-ha-ha!

Come on!

Faster!

I'm going to catch you, Spike.

Ha-ha-ha. You can't catch me!

Yu-hu-huuu. Oh.

-Safe!

-Yoo-hoo, Barry. Here I am. Catch me if can.

Er, huh-huh.

-Bttthh.

-Come and see this, everyone!

ALL: Oooh.

-There, look.

-Stars.

-Stars.

Maybe they hurt themselves when they fell from the sky.

No, Spike, those aren't stars.

-They're footprints, look.

-Yes, but not from a tortoise.

Maybe from a hare.

Or from a ferret.

-From a hedgehog.

-From a badger.

-From an owl.

-I think they are bird footprints.

-A very big bird, with five, long claws.

-The rock is too hard.

-Far too hard.

-To leave footprints on it.

I don't think it's a rock. It's some dirt that's become hard.

They must have walked here a long time ago.

Like from prehistoric times.

Wa-ah-ah-ah. Wa-ah-ah-ah. Wa-ah-ah-ah. It's a magic dance.

To make the prehistoric birds appear!

Wa-ah-ah-ah.

BOTH: Wa-ah-ah-ah. Wa-ah-ah-ah.

Wow! That looks like fun!

ALL: Wa-ah-ah-ah. Wa-ah-ah-ah.

Wa-ah-ah-ah. Wa-ah-ah-ah. Wa-ah-ah-ah.

Wow! Look at that! A snowflake!

ALL: Yey! It's snowing!

You're it.

-Oh, that's not fair.

-Did you see that? Our dance worked.

Oooh.

-Oh.

-Except, we made a mistake. We did a snow dance, not a bird dance.

Ha-ha-ha. Lulu's right. Now, this is the bird dance. Come on, everybody.

Let's all do it.

Ooh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh. Ooh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh.

ALL: Ooh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh.

I have an idea.

To make the big, prehistoric birds come, we have to move our arms

like wings, close our eyes and think very hard about them.

-Hey!

-Shh! Come on.

Oh.

-Can we look now?

-Yes, my arms are hurting.

Me, too, my wings are getting tired.

-All right, open your eyes!

-Huh?

-Huh!

-Huh!

-I think it worked!

-No, it didn't.

-There's nobody here.

-That means the birds turned up somewhere else.

-Come on!

-It's a huge bird.

-Ooh.

-A bird's foot doesn't leave a print like that.

Hattie's right. It's not a bird footprint.

-It belongs to...a dinosaur!

-Ah!

-Ooh!

-We have to warn the village.

-I'll go.

Here, everyone take a stick.

We can defend ourselves from the dinosaur.

What about me, then?

-You're spiky enough already.

-Oh, yes.

Ha-ha-ha. No, it's not true.

-It was just a joke. Ha-ha-ha.

-Ha-ha-ha.

There was no dinosaur. We're the ones who made the footprint.

Ha-ha-ha.

-No dinosaur? Are you sure, Lulu?

-I'm sure.

The dinosaur is heading for the village!

BOTH: Ha-ha-ha-ha.

-I almost believed you.

-That was a pretty good joke, Hattie.

But we did it before you.

I saw its footprints, they were huge. He's as big as a mountain.

-Huh?

-What?

-Footprints. But we just made one!

-There are more.

-The snow is full of them. Come and see.

-I told you there was a dinosaur.

-Let's go and see.

-ALL: Oooh!

-There, look.

-She's right. It's a real dinosaur.

And its feet are enooooormous!

And those marks there must be from his tail.

-You mean our dance worked?

-The dinosaur's going to eat us all.

He'll start with our feet.

It's your fault, Hugo. You're the one who did that magic dance.

-Come on, I was just pretending.

-Stop.

-We all danced. It's not just Hugo's fault.

-You're right.

It's all of our faults.

-And now we have to sort it out.

-ALL: But how?

By catching the dinosaur!

ALL: Ughm.

-Hurry!

-This way!

-Wait for me.

It looks like the dinosaur didn't know which way to go.

-Oh, yes, he did.

-Look.

-He ate a whole fish.

-He just left the bones.

He must have very hungry.

ALL: Oooh.

-How did he find it here? The river's far away.

-Can you see, Lulu?

The fish is stuck in the stone. Like the footprints.

I know all about dinosaurs.

They turn the remains of their meals into stone after they've

eaten them up.

Hugo, stop joking. It's not funny any more.

But you already said that before. And it was real.

Oh.

Phew. Good thing the dinosaur didn't go to the village.

-Yes, but he went to the school.

-I hope he doesn't eat the teacher.

Of course he will. And he'll turn her into stone.

I'm joking. He probably just wants to learn to read.

-This is no time...

-To make jokes.

Freddy and Freda are right, we all have to save the teacher now.

Oh. Phew. The dinosaur isn't in the classroom.

Ah! Look! He went into Brendan's workshop!

Why don't you stay here if you're scared? I'm going.

-We're not really scared. We're just careful.

-Go ahead, Lulu.

We're behind you.

-Oh, OK, thanks.

-Good luck.

-Ah!

-So, where's the di-di-dinosaur?

Not here, anyway.

Oh, well, that's all right, then. We can go now.

-Ah?

-Ah.

-Oooh.

-Ah-aah.

There, his footprints. He's back!

And here, and here too! And there!

-Brendan?

-What? What?

-So, you're the dinosaur.

-What dinosaur are you talking about?

-Oh, no, look.

It's Brendan's snowshoes that left footprints in the snow!

Oh! And the tree trunk was the tail. Ha-ha-ha. I told you so.

But what about his food, then? The fish turned into stone.

It was there, you saw it.

What, what, what are you talking about? What fish turned into stone?

-There, that's a fish, isn't it?

-Oh, yes, that's a fish all right.

Well, it was a fish. It lived millions of years ago

and its bones were preserved in the stone.

It's called a fossil.

And the stone with the stars, could it be a fossil too?

-You mean a stone with some markings like a starfish?

-Yes.

-Exactly.

-Perfectly.

-It probably is another fossil.

You know, millions of years ago, this whole place was covered with water.

It was a sea. And so, there were fish and starfish. Any other questions?

ALL: Oh, the sea.

The sea was here, instead of the fields. It's amazing, isn't it?

-I have an idea. Let's try to make it come back.

-Well, OK, but how?

With a magic dance. The beach dance, for example.

That's going to make the sea come back?

Of course. And, anyway, we might as well give it a go.

-That way, we can swim around and play in the waves.

-Of course we can!

ALL: Ah-ha-ha-ha.

Uh-ah-ah-ah. Uh-ah-ah-ah. Uh-ah-ah-ah.
