  • The length of an Argentinosaurus is almost the same size as the width of an American football field.

  • It was an enormous, long-necked, long-tailed, quadrupedal, plant-eater.

  • It has solid bones in its feet to help in carrying its weight, which in turn, made these creatures extremely slow and they had a low top speed.

[whistle blew]

Somebody blew the whistle and Jack rushed to see through the window and talked in sign language. Jack told Aunt Melissa that he needed a day off. Jack always wanted to escape his work. Aunt Melissa busted into anger. “Today is the last day to complete the fence painting at Claudia’s, more than half the work is left”, shouted Melissa. Jack argues that it can’t finish in just two days. It’s a week’s work. Aunt Melissa didn’t agree to give him a day off and ordered him to resume work. “I will flee from here one day”, grumbled annoyed Jack. I wish I could tell Jack about my dreams and how those were so real. We started to paint the fence. I tried to make up his mind by saying “Let's paint the fence without taking any breaks”. I assured him that it will finish and he can go to his friends after that. 

Jack hugged me as my idea worked. He then ran off to his friends while I stayed back and cleaned up the backyard. While I was chopping off the grass in the garden, I heard some disturbing noise coming from inside. I dared to peek through the window glass.

I saw that Claudia was yelling at a girl. The girl could see me through and her eyes told me many untold stories that she wanted to tell me. “Mia! Look at me”, screamed angry Claudia and turned her face to see where the girl’s eyes were stuck to. I hid and returned to work. I thought of Mia till I went to sleep. Soon I fell asleep.


[In sleep]

A big animal was groaning in pain as if it needed help. It was dark, I hardly could see anything. I approached the wails. I reached a place, where there were a few tents and a gigantic dino was captured and surrounded by a circle of fire. “Argentinosaurus,” I muttered. 

The Argentinosaurus is one of the largest dinosaurs. I trespassed to save the poor creature. I tried to extinguish the fire but how would I do it? It rained suddenly. The fire was extinguished. I had to untie her from the iron chains. I grabbed an axe nearby. I hit hard on the iron chains. The dino looked at me as if it trusted me.  “Don’t worry, only two more to cut down. Then you are free.”, I told her. I was cutting down the last one when a huge man from behind caught hold of my collar and dragged me. I shouted and cried for help. The earth thudded when the big Argentinosaurus destroyed everything and fought back the evil men. It finally paid back and saved me. 

“Do you like this name Tino?, I know you don’t look tiny but the name perfectly suits you,” I told her. She liked her name. Tino carried me on his back and I felt I am on top of the world.
