[English]

<i>Ducky!</i>

Hello.

[Snoring]

Hello?

You should come out. You should.

You are late.

Yes, you are.

Yep, yep, yep.

Come out!

You are all alone.

Are you not scared? Huh?

[Yawn]

We're going to the great valley.

You could go with us. Yes.

Uh, you are a spiketail,

<i>so we will</i> <i>call you Spike.</i>

<i>Ducky!</i>

<i>So the five</i> <i>hungry dinosaurs...</i>

<i>set off for the great valley.</i>

<i>There had never been</i> <i>such a herd...</i>

<i>A long-neck,</i> <i>a three-horn,</i>

<i>a bigmouth,</i> <i>a flier, and a spiketail,</i>

<i>all knowing that if they</i> <i>lost their way,</i>

<i>they would starve...</i>

<i>or find themselves</i> <i>in Sharptooth's shadow.</i>
