Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to a special taster of our new
premium only story. We hope you like it. Hey, yo, Hello,
I'm Josephine and this is the Animal Tales podcast. There
are over one hundred extra stories on our premium service,
with a new one released every Friday, and this is
another one. THEO is a Premium member from California, USA,
and he would like a story with a velociraptor, a
utah raptor, and a t rex. Don't forget to listen
to the animal facts after the story to learn more
about these creatures. For now, it's time to sit back
and get comfy, because it's time to begin a dinosaur story.
THEO was a velociraptor and the thing that THEO really
liked was stories. When he had time to read stories,
he would read them in books, and when he only
had time to listen to stories, he'd find them on
a podcast or listen to them through an audio book.
He didn't really mind what the story was about, just
as long as it was a good one. Then one day,
THEO got the idea of writing a story himself. Why not,
reasoned the velociraptor. I like stories. I know how they're
put together, so there's no reason why I couldn't write
a great story if I tried. Deciding that the town
that he lived in was too noisy, THEO set out
for the countryside, somewhere where he could be alone with
his thoughts, his ideas, and his writing. He found a
nice quiet spot on a tree covered hill overlooking a
beautiful lake. It was both peaceful and inspiring. This will do,
smiled THEO. As he settled down, using a large rock
as a seat. He pulled out a notebook and one
of several pens from his bag and realized he was ready.
Well almost ready, Oh, thought THEO. What exactly is my
story going to be about? That was the problem with stories,
They could be about well anything. He was staring off
across the lake thinking about this when someone came pushing
through the undergrowth beside him. It was a utah raptor,
a similar dinosaur to a velociraptor, but much much bigger.
This utar raptor was carrying a camera on a strap
around its feathered neck. Hey there, said the utar raptor loudly.
Lovely day, isn't it? Oh? Yes, said THEO. He thought
he'd selected a nice quiet spot to do his writing,
so quite fairly, he was a little disappointed to find
himself sharing it. Don't mind me, said the utar raptor
with a cheerful grin. I'm just taking pictures. He lifted
his camera and took a few photos of the extraordinary
view out across the lake. Never mind, thought THEO. This
is still quieter than being back home. I'm sure I
can carry on with my writing. Say buddy, what's that
you're writing there, asked the utar raptor as he noticed
Theo's notepad. Are you making a list or something? No, no,
said THEO. I'm writing a story. A story, said the
utar raptor, looking interested. Oh what's it about? Well er,
I don't know yet, admitted THEO. I'm still thinking about
that part. Ah. Well, let me help you, boomed the
utar aptor loudly as he bounded over. I've got lots
of ideas. Hey, budge over a bit there. He plunked
his large utar raptor bottom on to the rock beside THEO. Well, actually,
I don't really need any help, said THEO. But the
utar raptor didn't appear to be listening. It should have
aliens in it, said the utar raptor, pointing to the sky.
All the best stories have aliens in them. In your story,
they should invade the planet and turn all the dinosaurs
into hot dogs. No wait, into donuts, talking donuts. Oh yes,
start writing that down. If you'd like to hear more,
