"Nah," was Goanna's reply.  "I need to do some underwater swimming myself.  A better way to keep me from dunking you again."  She smirks, and then dives underwater, resurfacing a few moments later in the deep center of the waterpool.

"Let's go," Donna says to Tulio.  "Let's do some swimming before she decides to play the swimming sharptooth game again..."  She then starts to paddle around the edge of the pool.

"Well, as my uncle heard more from the original inhabitants of the Valley," Guan responded, "the Valley itself went through some hard times as well.  We actually joined up with the entire herd when they were heading back to the Great Valley after all the green food here was destroyed by leaf-gobblers.  Even before, there was a dry time in the Valley that created a huge fire.  And sharpteeth were found inside more than once."

Ali finally reached the pond. "Hi Guan, Hi Ducky. How's it going?"
She called out.

Zlia looked down at the little longneck laughing a bit "Ducky? that little swimmer in the pool is my son Turio. I don't know any Ducky, young longneck. I am Zila, the father of Turio." Zlia looked at Guan "I was talking to Guan and he told me that this valley had some hard times like everyone else from my knownledge." Zila looked back at Ali.

Turio looked over to the longneck "Longnecks? Father and I have not seen a longneck for a long time" Turio said to Donna

(Can understand.  See you again soon, Threehorn.)

"Not too many longnecks live here," replied Donna, still paddling.  "Littlefoot and Ali may be the only longneck kids here, but I think I saw a third a while back.  I think a relative of Littlefoot."

"Mr. Zila, this is Ali," Guan gave the introductions.  "She and her mother joined us some time ago.  I'm sure they came with a few other longnecks, but I haven't seen them in a while."

Goanna's head popped up out of the water near where Ali, Zila, and Guan are standing.  "Hey Ali!  Come on in!  The water's nice and cool today!"

"I never saw many... but father say he know place that there lots lots of longnecks but he no say" Turio said with a wonder in his voice.

Zila looked at Ali "Nice to meet you Ali. Last time I saw longnecks was a while ago in a large plain like valley wide open cut off from the outside world. Can not recall the location" Zila said.

That must have been my herd you saw.' Ali replied. She jumped into the water, splashing the nearby dinosaurs. "Ahh! Feels nice and cool." Ali swam around in the pond.

"Funny enough I did see a tiny longneck just hatched when I came by with a larger herd that time... many died in the great earthshake, me and my son was the only survivers of the shake in our herd" Zila said watching carefully.

"My father is right... I do remember... I wish not... I am very special to father" Turio said with a smile looking at his dad "Father... could I show off?"

"Ok just once... ok. I know you have a speedy movement in water faster then me I might add" Zila said with no one believing him.

Turio went under and they watched him move fast under it then back back surfacing "Ta da!"

"Well I was told a story from my grandparents... travel to a wonderful place free from sharpteeth... then travel to a peak that looks like a threehorn. from there just keeping walking till you find a river that flows very fast and very wide. go left from that and travel up alongside it till you find the place with a large wall. there is a entrance that you will miss easy to see easy to miss. in the most simplest places with vines that hung low" Zila said the story of the route to take to the Great Lake

Zila looked "So it is... by any chance do you know where I could find any more swimmers?" Zila asked the young longneck

Zila soon heard that word again and he sighed heavily. "Can't anyone of you dinosaurs get our kind names RIGHT... it Swimmers! not duckbill and Not Big mouth!" Zila snapped walking off to find other swimmers.

"Father do not like the name Duckbill or big mouth... I do not either. Swimmers are best name for our kind it suits us because we good swimmers. yes we are" Turio said watching his father go see other swimmers

Well Ducky has no problem with being called a duckbill" Ali replied. ' But I can see how your father would be touchy about it."

"To swimmers outside the valley even to me... erm... Duckbill means dumb, stupid, small minded..." Turio said to Ali swimming up to her looking up at her "many used that name for that reason... father got in a fight with a threehorn because the threehorn said that and father had big fight he no like it at all. Please could you no say that word around him or me please" Turio asked.
