To his surprise, the unicorn spoke,
''Ｔetsuya, I want to take you to the
Land of the Dinosaurs. Can you
come with me?''
Ｔetsuya said,
''Wow! I would love to go, but first
I must ask permission and leave a
note for Yuka, Shin and Maki.''
Moments later, the unicorn whisked
him back in time to the Land of the
Dinosaurs.

when Ｔetsuya and the unicorn
arrived at the shore of the
beautiful lake, an apatosaurus
(uh-pat-o-SORE-us) greeted
them. He was longer than a big
school bus.
"What is your name?"
asked Ｔetsuya.
"I don't have one" answered
the plant-eating dinosaur sadly.
"No one has ever named any of us."
Ｔetsuya thought for a while and
then said,
"I will call you Stretch.''

Next, Ｔetsuya and the unicorn
entered a dense, humid forest
where they found giant ferns
and many reptiles of all sizes
and shapes.
While there, they heard a strange,
snapping sound in the distance and
cautiously crept closer to investigate.
After all, Ｔetsuya had wanted
to come here to learn as much
as he could about dinosaurs!

Not far away, they met an allosaurus
(al-us-SORE-us).
She had large teeth and stood on
powerful, hind legs.
A huge tail helped her to stand up.
''So you are the one who is
making all that noise,''
said Ｔetsuya.
''I shall name you Alli."
Alli said,
''Thank you,''
as she handed Ｔetsuya a branch
of flowers.

Ｔetsuya was having so much fun in
the Land of the Dinosaurs that he
had not noticed that his friend the unicorn was crying.
''Why are you crying?"
asked Ｔetsuya
''You have given names to everyone
today except me,''
sighed the unicorn.
''Oh, I'm sorry. Ariel would be the
perfect name for you,''
said Ｔetsuya
''I love it!''
smiled thewide-eyed unicorn with
a big grin.
''Thank you! ''

They ran and ran until they came to
some rugged, rocky cliffs. Lightning
showed Ｔetsuya a nest along the
top of one of the cliffs and directed
him to get a close look.
The nest contained three baby
pterodactyls (ter-uh-DAK-tuls).
''Who is supposed to be taking
care of these babies?"
asked Ｔetsuya.

''I am!''
echoed a voice, circling above them.
Just then a large pterodactyl glided
past them.
Ｔetsuya. found it hard
to believe that a lizard could fly.
Its wing span was about as long
as his arm.
Ｔetsuya. decided that Dack would
be a fine name for a flying lizard.
The father pterodactyl glided
down to the nest.
Ariel was quietly talking to Dack,
but Ｔetsuya. could not hear what
they were saying.

Ｔetsuya, Ariel and the pterodacty
flew back across the Land of the Dinosaurs until they once more
reached the beautiful lake.
This time Ｔetsuya saw a lot of
activity at the water's edge.
Dinosaurs were decorating the
beach with streamers andballoons.
Ｔetsuya wanted to help decorate
and wondered if he could go to
the party.

As they landed, a pentaceratops
(pen-tuh-SARE-uh-tops) rushed
to greet them.
Ｔetsuya quickly counted the five
horns on his head and decided to
call him Penti.
Then he asked if he could help
them decorate.
''I want you to come with me,
but for a different reason,''
replied Penti.
"We have a surprise for you!''

The dinosaurs were gathered
around alarge two-tiered cake.
''What a beautiful cake! ''
exclaimed Ｔetsuya.
''It's for you!'
shouted his new friends.
Now Ｔetsuya knew what Ariel had
whispered to Dack.
The dinosaurs realized that
Ｔetsuya had to return soon
and had wanted to help him
remember his first Visit to
the Land of the Dinosaurs.

After the party, Alli, the allosaurus,
told Ｔetsuya that it was time to
leave forIsesaki-city.
Ｔetsuya was a bit sad, but
could hardly wait to tell Yuka,
Shin and Maki about his
exciting adventures.
Before he left, they all thanked
Ｔetsuya for the nice names he
hadgiven them.

Ariel flew Ｔetsuya home and said,
''I also have a surprise for you,
Ｔetsuya.''
In his room, he found a dinosaur
cake with a personalized card signed
by all the dinosaurs.
Ｔetsuya hugged Ariel for making
his secret dream come true and
told her how much he had enjoyed
his trip to the Land of the
Dinosaurs.
''I will never forget what you have
done for me! Thank you for my
fabulous dinosaur adventure.''
