Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to a special taster of our new
premium only story. We hope you like it. Hell Yale, Hello,
I'm Josephine and this is the Animal Tales podcast, home
to over four hundred and fifty stories written just for you.
Our Friday story is especially for our Premium subscribers only.
Ocean is a premium member for my beither, and he
would like a story with a velociraptor, a t rex,
a triceratops, and a wooly mammoth. 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. I need
four dinosaurs. Ocean was the richest person in the whole
wide world. He'd lost count of how much money he had,
but he thought it was somewhere in the squillions. Having
so much money meant that Ocean could buy almost anything
he wanted. So he tried big houses, fast cars, and
enormous yachts, but none of those really excited him. What
I want is something different, he decided, something so amazing
that nobody else has it or could possibly ever afford it.
But what could something like that be. Ocean thought about
this problem a lot, but whatever he thought of, somebody
else had already done it. He thought about buying a
movie studio, or a rocket ship company, or a car manufacturer,
but all those things had been done before. It wasn't
until he was watching one of his favorite films that
an idea finally fell into place. The film he was
watching was Jurassic Park, where a man builds a theme
park and fills it with dinosaurs. That's what I'm going
to do, Ocean announced loudly. I'm going to build my
very own dinosaur park. There's a very good reason nobody
had done this so far. It was practically impossible. But
Ocean had something that just might make the impossible happen. Money,
and lots of it. He got together a team of scientists,
boffins and eggheads and explained that he was willing to
spend an entire squillion of his fortune in order to
make his dream happen. Doctor Copprolyte, the lead scientist, made
lots of notes, nodded with enthusiasm, then took her team
away to work out if they thought it could be done.
They got back to report to Ocean. A week later,
What news do you have for me, asked Ocean excitedly.
There's good news and bad news, reported Doctor Copprolite. Seriously,
then give me the good news, first, replied Ocean. We
think we've worked out a way to bring dinosaurs back
to life, smiled Dr Copprolite with a slightly smug grin.
Well that's excellent news. That's exactly what I wanted to hear,
grinned Ocean. So what's the bad news? Doctor Kopprolite pushed
her glasses up her nose and tapped her pen on
her notebook. I'm afraid it's going to be expensive, very expensive.
But that's not a problem, laughed Ocean. I've already told
you I am willing to spend one squillion of my
fortune on this. Surely that's more than enough to fill
an entire park full of dinosaurs. Not quite, said Doctor Copprolyte,
fidgeting awkwardly. Not an entire park, said Ocean, with disappointment.
Then how many dinosaurs can I have? Er? Four, said
Doctor Coprolete. Four was not a lot of dinosaurs, Not
when you're paying one squillion for them, Sir Ocean comforted himself.
With the knowledge that at least it would be four
more dinosaurs than the world currently had at that moment.
Four dinosaurs felt like it would still be an impressive park,
whereas anything less felt like it would be a disappointment.
So it will be four, said Ocean double checking. Definitely
four dinosaurs. That's what you're promising me. Four dinosaurs. Definitely four, sir, confirmed,
Doctor Copprolte. If you'd like to hear more, please join
