You see, most dinosaurs 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: have disappeared over the years, right, Yeah, there's not many 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: dinosaurs left, but Evan has somehow been I think, one 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: of the last dinosaurs. But he was feeling very alone. 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: Can you imagine being the last dinosaur? Oh, man, that 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: would be pretty lonely. And that is how Evan woke 20 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: up this morning. Oh another day, another day of being. 21 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: The only dinosaur in the white world. Huh, nobody understands me. 22 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: Triceratops are really cool creatures. Do you know how many 23 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: horns a triceratops have. 24 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have three. They have two big ones kind 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: of on the top of their head that go out, 26 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and then one little horn kind of near their nose, 27 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: and all together they have three of those horns. That's 28 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: why they're called try sarratops. 29 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 30 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Try that means three, So a three horned dinosaur. It's 31 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: a perfect name for Evan. As Evan got out of bed, 32 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: he stretched his legs and it was very sad. Oo, 33 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: I don't have any friends that are like me. 34 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: What am I ever gonna do? Oh? Hey, Eaven, how 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: are you doing today? It's a great day, right? Oh? Hi? Sally? 36 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: That was Sally. 37 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: Sally was a jumping lemur that lived in Evan's neighborhood 38 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: in the jungle. 39 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not doing that great today. 40 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: Oh. 41 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: I'm just kind of sad that there's no more trice 42 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: eratops anymore. There's no more creatures that are like me 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: with these three horns, and I just feel kind of 44 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 2: lonely today. 45 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: Wait a second, come to think of it, I think 46 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: I've heard of a legend, a legend of a creature. 47 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: With a horn on its head. Maybe it's maybe it's 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: another Trice aerotops. Wait, are you for real? Said Evan. Huh, 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: you gotta tell me where this where this creature is 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: right now? 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: Evan was got really excited all of a sudden, and 52 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Sally the Lemur started to think and think and think. Oh, well, huh, 53 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: I think it's up that mountain. 54 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's totally up there. She pointed with. 55 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: Her right hand up to the tallest mountain in the area. 56 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: That was Mount Rocky. Mount Rocky was very rocky. You know, 57 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a good name for a very rocky mountain, right. 58 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: Mount Rocky was a very tall mountain with all these 59 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: big climphs, and it was really hard to climb up 60 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: and who in the world would live up there? Are 61 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: you serious? There's no way I can get up there, 62 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: said Evan. Oh, but I think there's a trail. Yes, 63 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: there's a path. You gotta try, Evan. Maybe maybe one 64 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: of your family members is up there, said Sally. 65 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: Okay, well, I guess I don't have anything else to 66 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: do today. I guess I'm becoming a mountain climber. 67 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: Evan started hiking towards Mount rocky, and it was a 68 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: pretty short hike. But as he entered the trail and 69 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: looked up, whoa, that's a big mountain. It was a 70 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: big mountain, and it was gonna be a long hike. 71 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: And hopefully Sally has heard a legend that's true. Sometimes 72 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: legends are true and sometimes they're not true. But that 73 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: would be awesome if there was a creature, maybe a 74 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: trice airtops up there. She had heard stories of some 75 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: creature with a horn on its head. And I can't 76 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: think of any other creatures other than trice eratops with 77 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: horn on horns on their heads. Right, Well, Evan is 78 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: gonna be in for a big surprise when he gets 79 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: up there. As Evan continued hiking up the trail, well 80 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: this is this is harder than I thought. He finally 81 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: rounded a corner he had made it. Wait a second, 82 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: I'm already to the top end. Where's the where's the 83 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: other trice Era toops. As he looked around, he realized 84 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: that there was nobody else on top of that mountain, 85 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: and he began to be very very sad. 86 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Oh, I'll never find anybody just like me. Evan was 87 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: very sad, and all of a sudden, he heard a voice. Hu, 88 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: here's crying over there a lor tow. Wait a second, 89 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: who is that? 90 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: As Evan looked around back and forth all over the mountain, 91 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: he didn't see anyone, and then all of a sudden, 92 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: howler can i holpler it was. 93 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: A unicorn dune dun dung. The legend was actually true. 94 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: There was a creature with a horn on his head, 95 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: but it was not not trice eratops. 96 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: It was a unicorn how man as anaballa red zirlon. 97 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: As Evan wiped off the tears off his face, he said, 98 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: my name's Evan, and I've been looking for a creature. 99 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: I was told it looks like me, but you're not 100 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: a trice aratops.
