We were weary from our adventures.
Then Summerlee held up his hand.
Some enormous creature was coming towards our camp.
Then he did something incredibly brave.
He took up a burning torch from the fire.
It was all coated with blood. A moment later, the horrible creature ran away.
The next day, we found pieces of iguanodon on the ground. The two professors inspected them carefully.
'I think,' said Professor Challenger, 'that horrible creature was an Allosaurus.'
'Perhaps you're right,' answered Challenger, 'but first we must make if only a map of Maple White Land.'
It made angry noises at me, but then it vanished quickly. I was shocked, but I decided to continue to climb.
When I arrived at the top, I looked around. Not a great way off I saw a lake.
'Perhaps,' said Challenger, 'It was a kind of primitive man between ape and man: the lacking bond! We must discover more about it.'
That night I was too agitated to sleep after my adventure.
I arrived at the shore of the lake at one o'clock.
I swarmed up on a large rock and looked around.
Then I heard the sound of a large animal walking very near me. I saw it. I knew it already.
I made up my mind to run, but the creature began to run too.
He came closer. I was terrified. I cried loudly.
I fainted for a few minutes. When I woke up, I felt the odor of something horrible.
Around me there were large pieces of old meat. I was in a snare for dinosaurs, a snare made by humans!
