I walked around the stream, trying to find some larger branches for our "tree house". I pick up a descent sized branch and added it to the pile. I took my hat off and wiped sweat off of my forehead. I heard rustling in the weeds. I pulled out my beat stick and held it ready to swipe. A little dinosaur jumped out of the bushes. It was a little theropod, and was teal blue, black, and white with a little gray on its undersides. It was no bigger than a chicken. "Hey little guy! Where did you come from?" I said looking at him. He let out a little baby screech and started tugging on my pant leg. "Hey!" I said laughing. I tried to pick him up. He back away frightened. "Hey it's ok, I won't hurt you." I said holding my hand out. I walked towards me cautiously. I started to pet him. He started to purr kinda like a cat. I picked him up. He looked like a Velociraptor. He nudged my arm. "Wait until I show the others!" I thought excitedly. I slowly walked towards the "tree house". I climbed up the ladder they made with branches and vines and sat down on the platform. I sat him down. He started to play with a twig. "What should I name you?" I thought watching him play. I thought for a moment. I remembered when one time Beth called one of my brother's ermine skins Jeffrey. "How about Jeffrey? How bout that?" I said to him playfully. He looked at me and squeaked loudly.  "What's that sound?" Beth said climbing up the ladder. I smiled. Her mouth dropped. "Awww, it's so cute!!!" She said. "I know right?" I said. "What you gonna name him?" Beth asked. "Jeffrey." I said holding back laughing. She starred at me. "Really?" She said laughing. "Let's go show the others!" She said. "Sure, why not!" I said picking him up.

I took off my survival bracelet and started to use the flint and steel on some bark shavings. I looked behind my shoulder and seen Jeffrey snuggled on Kat's lap. I struck the flint and steel again sending sparks flying and it started to smoke, which then turned quickly into a flame. "Yes! I have created fire!" I yelled. Everyone laughed. "I never liked dinosaurs, but I love this guy!" Kat said petting Jeffrey's head. His head bobbed up like he heard something. He jumped off Kat's lap and ran into the bushes. "Jeffrey!" I said loudly. There was no response. Then there was a squeal. "Jeffrey!!" I yelled running over to the sound. Jeffrey was standing over a dead rabbit wagging his tail like a dog. "Who wants rabbit?" I said holding it up. They were all eating granola bars. "Ewww." Kat said disgusted. I laughed. "Where did y'all get those?" I asked. They all pointed at Mary. "Wow." I said shaking my head laughing. She tossed me one. I also asked Mary for a knife. She handed it to me. "Why do you need that?" Kat asked nervously. I sliced down the rabbit's stomach and cut off a small piece of meat and threw it to Jeffrey. He started eating it happily.  "Ok, yikes." Kat said.
