last breath. My eyes glistened with tears as I ran back to base camp to call for help.
Now, I was determined to find that Therizinosaurus egg my father and his team never found
twenty years ago. It was a mission in honour of my father and nothing would stop me. I searched
day and night, twenty four-seven, for that elusive egg. Eighteen arduous days of searching later,
I would finally strike gold. As I dug and dug, I came across an oval-shaped object of a dull brown
tone. Next to it was the skeletal remains of a baby Therizinosaur! It seemed likely the oval-shaped
object was the egg I had been looking for all this while. As I cupped it with my dirt filled hands, I
could not contain my excitement! I had to bring it back to S.T.A.R. labs to have it examined.
The next few weeks were a tense wait for results. Finally, Dr. Hamilton of the S.T.A.R. labs
rang with the good news I was hoping for. Yes, the recognition tests confirmed that the oval-
shaped object was the fossil remains of a Therizinosaurus egg! Mission finally accomplished after
twenty long years!
I knew my father was smiling down from heaven. He would be all too proud of me!
