Finally, he arrives at a lake
that is almost as long and as wide as the lake where he had breakfast.
The lake's shore is quiet and Albert looks about for a snack. He waddles
into the water and lowers his long neck. He yanks up a mouthful of
grasses and water plants and chews.
Suddenly, he hears a splashing sound behind him. Turning his head he
sees another, smaller Apatosaurus. Albert quickly finishes chewing,
swallows, and smiles.
'I'm Albert,' he says. 'What's your name?'
'Alexandra,' replies the smaller Apatosaurus. 'Where are you from,
Albert?'
'I live near the lake on the other side of the forest.' Albert waves his long
tail in the direction of his home. 'I was out exploring and came here to
see if any neighbors moved in recently. I haven't seen you before. Are
you new here?'
'Yes, I am,' Alexandra replies. 'My Mommy and Daddy and I just moved
here and we think we'll stay. It's quiet in this forest, and the lake's
shoreline has plenty of the food we like. I hope that we'll remain here
for a long time.'
Albert tells Alexandra about Peter, Palmer, Alice and Sally.
