The baby big dinosaurs were very lively. They didn’t look such as big dinosaurs. They ate vegetables, cat food and so on. They were so hungry that enough to eat. So Sam put out a large plate of cat food and salad, just in case. The baby dinosaurs were bigger and bigger. They grew up so fast. They were getting fierce. Mr. Puff said, “Ooops! Aaaaaggh!
