A New Place

– CHAPTER TWENTY ONE –

Six small figures huddled together and shivered somewhat in the cool evening breeze that stirred through the forest on the outskirts of Ocean Park. “So what are we to do now?” Leesawold asked no one in particular.* “We going to stay here all time and freeze to our death? Doesn’t anyone have idea about what we do? This is not my idea of us having fun.”

 Ozwold glanced at Leesawold. “Okey dokey. As I see it we are in a fix and we need to get out of the fix.”

 P-eyewold clapped a hand to his head and pretended to faint. “Oh, that’s brilliant Ozwold.” Mimicking his accent. “As I see it we are in a fix and we need to get out of the fix. That brilliant!”

 Leesawold placed her arm protectively around Ozwold.

 “500 earth thousand years and you still got an attitude. You leave him alone smarty-pants P-eyewold. I don’t see you with a good idea or not.” P-eyewold retorted defensively. “Well, if Greanwold were here he would know what to do.”

 “Well Greanwold not here.” said Leesawold. “And we have to try find him then try to get back to Nogardland without being caught by that horrible, horrible Moa Constructor.”

 Texewold and Qoorkeelawold had gone off to explore some changing rooms at the edge of the baseball field.

* The Minosaurs are speaking in Minosaur

 They return dragging a sports bag and examined the contents of the bag. Texewold picked out several objects with cries of exclamation. He held up a baseball cap, an oversized T-shirt, a pair of dirty running shoes, a pair of sunglasses and strangely enough, a pair of ear muffs. The Minosaurs gathered round the bag. Leesawold picked up the earmuffs and baseball cap and placed them on her head. Lyewold, the sixth Minosaur looked at her and burst into peals of laughter followed by the hoots of the others.
