I didn’t know the
professor’s time machine
worked, so I pressed that
button.

people here. Nobody

I must find
somewhere to hide,
or the dinosaurs will
eat me.
4. I’m hungry but
I can’t find any food.

I didn’t follow the professor’s
orders. I got myself in this
bad situation.
I’ll try to make the
machine work. I might get
back home.
I hope I will get
back home. I will never touch
this machine again.
