Speaker 2: And we're gonna have a lot of fun along the way.

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go.

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: It was dinosaur week at the library. Missless had been

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: preparing all weekend with dinosaur signs and banners placed around town.

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: She hoped everyone would see the signs and come in

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: for dinosaur stories. But what she didn't plan on was

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: lex Lex is a Tyrannosaurus rex. You know, a t

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: rex who lived out in the fields beyond the town.

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: He liked to stop around and do dinosaur things, and

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: he was always hungry. One day, as Lex was looking

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: for something to eat, he spotted a strange square sticking

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: out of the grass by the edge of his field.

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: What's this, wondered Lex. He couldn't read, but if he could,

29
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: he would see that it was a sign for dinosaur

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Week at the library. Instead, he just took a bite

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: out of it.

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: Hmmm, interesting flavor, Lex wants.

33
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: More so he followed along in the direction the sign

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: had been pointing. On the hunt for more of this

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: new tasty treat. Lex had found two more signs, which

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: he had eaten as well, before finding his way to

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the sidewalk.

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: What strange caves.

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: Lex commented as he stomped past the shops in town.

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: He continued following the signs, only stopping every once in

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: a while to samples the local food. You know, like

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: a wooden bench and a delicious bicycle. He liked the

43
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: bicycle tire, but thought the bench he needed some barbecue sauce.

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: All the way down the street, Lex gobbled up every

45
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: sign he found until he was standing in front of

46
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the library. The banner on the front read Dinosaur Week.

47
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: Stomp in for a good book, but of course, being

48
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: a dinosaur, Lex only recognized the pictures of dino's painted

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: on it.

50
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: A place for dinosaurs here, Lex asked, I hope they

51
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: have snacks.

52
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Lex made his way to the front door. The windows

53
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: rattled with each stomp of his feet.

54
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: Boom boom boom.

55
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

56
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: The automatic doors let Lex in as he ducked his

57
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: large t rex head to enter inside. He was greeted

58
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: with aisles and aisles of books, or to Lex, aisles

59
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and aisles of Oh dear snacks. Mm, exclaimed Lex as

60
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: he made his way down the cookbook section, munch on

61
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: pages and crunching on spines. These are delicious, Lex sample

62
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: titles like Barbecue Pitmasters and super Salads. But his favorites

63
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: were the dessert section. He satisfied his sweet tooth with

64
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: all the copies of Oh dear, the ked to crumbie cupcakes,

65
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and a recipe called cookies, Cookies, Cookies. As Lex looked

66
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: around for more, he spotted the children's room. Oh dear,

67
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: please don't go in there. Of course, since Lex had

68
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: never been in a library before, he only noticed the

69
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: pictures of dinosaurs all over it.

70
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: Uh.

71
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: Here we go the dinosaur cave, Lex said excitedly.

72
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: I wonder what kind of snacks they have in there.

73
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: He bounded over, shaking all the shelves as he went

74
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: inside the room, where more pictures of dinosaurs and books

75
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: or to him snacks of all different sizes, Many of

76
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: them had dinosaur pictures on the front.

77
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: Oh dear.

78
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: He was pretty full, but decided to taste the book

79
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: about compies, his favorite dino to eat. Compies were very small,

80
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: so he could pop them in his mouth like popcorn.

81
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: FROs m delt's. Now he was stuffed.

82
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: Lex the t Rex needed a dino nap after all

83
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: those snacks. Wait a second, there's all the people in here.

84
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: I thought people were in libraries. And why is nobody

85
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: terrified that there's a dinosaur in there?

86
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

87
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Well, he found his way to the cozy corner and

88
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: curled up, falling fast asleep. The librarian returned after a

89
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: lunch to a terrible noise thundering through the children's room.

90
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: I knew it, this is not gonna end well. The

91
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: shelves were rattling and swaying, but miss Less was a

92
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: brave librarian, so she covered her ears with her hands

93
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: and walked toward the sound.

94
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: It boomed like thunder, stopping and then beginning again.

95
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: As she got closer, she could feel the air moving

96
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: through the aisles. What a warm wind blew toward her,

97
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: sending her hair flying behind her, and then it reversed,

98
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: sucking the shelves toward it and her air. What in

99
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the world, Whatever the source of the wind and the

100
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: sound was, it was coming from the cozy corner.

101
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: She was sure of it.

102
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Missless the librarian turned the corner and saw ginormous t

103
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Rex snoring on top of every bean bag and pillow chair.

104
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Some stuffing was floating around the air from a half

105
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: eaten pillow, moving on the wind from all of his snoring.

106
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: Oh all that wind, it's his. Oh shosh is snoring?

107
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Ahem, Miss Liz shouted at Lex, excuse me. Lex snorted

108
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: and rolled over towards the person who had interrupted his sleep.

109
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: He opened one eye and swinted at Miss liss Ah, Yes,

110
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: you are being much too noisy for the library. Please

111
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: stop snoring in the cozy corner.

112
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: This is for reading.

113
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Lex opened his other eye and sat up, squashing a

114
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: couple chairs.

115
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: A library is that the name of this snack cave.

116
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: Miss Lists gasped snacks. Have you been eating our books?

117
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Lex nodded yes and they are yes. Lex want more,

118
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: but the librarian frowned and shook her head. Oh my, this, no, no, this.

119
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: Will not do.

120
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: We do not eat books. Let me show you how

121
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: to use books properly. And with this, Missless disappeared down

122
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: the aisle. When she returned, she was holding stacks of books.

123
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: Lex lipped his lips, but the librarian just waved her

124
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: finger at him.

125
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, you will not be eating anymore.

126
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: I will show you the.

127
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: Right way to use a book.

128
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: So Missless sat down next to the giant t rex

129
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: and began reading. How is she not afraid of this

130
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: t rex? Would you want to read a t rex book?

131
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would. Well, she read him

132
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: stories of brave dinosaurs, unlikely heroes, and great friends. She

133
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: continued reading book after book, and Lex was hooked. When

134
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Missless closed the last page, Lex frowned. Oh please, just

135
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: one more book, he whined. She shook her head. That

136
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: is enough for today, but come back tomorrow for another

137
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: story time. If you can prove you won't eat any

138
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: more books, maybe you can even get your.

139
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: Own library cards someday.

140
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: Lex left the library without eating any more books. His

141
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: mouth watered though as he walked past the fishing book section,

142
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: but he stayed strong for the librarian and her promise

143
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: of story time tomorrow the end.

144
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,840
