The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock

Since the very beginning of our world,

there have been wonderful stories about how life began.

There are tales of how the Bright Circle gave birth

to the lesser lights of the dark time,

which watch over us as we sleep.

And many ways of explaining

how our world itself was formed.

And how the first strange, incredible creatures

came to walk upon the land.

Which of the stories are really true, Grandpa?

No one knows, Littlefoot.

That is one of the great mysteries of life.

Yeah, but...

Shh! Littlefoot!

Please! Do not interrupt!

Yeah! Petrie not like it when you erupt neither!

As I was saying,

after many crossings of the Bright Circle,

great herds began to appear on the land...

The Longnecks, the Spiketails,

the Threehorns.

Oh, Dana, Dinah. Hiya! Threebie hornas!

Hush you two, or Auntie Cera's gonna be upset!

Ooh! "Auntie Cera!" Well! (GIGGLES)

Mmm!

All right, children.

What happened then, Grandpa?

Some of these herds, in their migrations across the land,

found the most fertile, beautiful place in the world.

The Great Valley!

Yes. And life in the Great Valley was good,

until one day,

the Sharptooth came!

And not just any Sharptooth,

but the biggest, meanest, most ferocious Sharptooth ever!

Mama!

But then, just when the Longnecks thought all was lost,

the Lone Dinosaur appeared on the horizon!

The who?

The what?

The Lone Dinosaur!

But what is a lone...

Shh!

The battle seemed to last for hours.

It was a spectacle no one had ever seen before!

A lone leaf-eater taking on a Sharptooth!

But then...

Wait!

Come back. Come back!

And just as suddenly as he had appeared,

the Lone Dinosaur went away.

Oh!

That's it?

He just leave?

Nobody ever saw him again?

Well, legend has it

that not long after the defeat of the Sharptooth...

Earthshake!

Ooh!

So they called it "Saurus Rock."

And it's there to this very day.

Sometimes, when the wind is just right and blows away the mists,

you can see it,

watching over the Great Valley

just like the Lone Dinosaur did so many years ago.

They say if you look very closely

you can see the circle of teeth around its neck.

Real teeth?

The story goes that they came from the very Sharptooth

the Lone Dinosaur defeated.

Whoa!

They say that some nights,

you can see the ghost of that Sharptooth wandering around,

looking for his teeth!

Scary Dana... Dinah no no!

Uh-uh.

Well, I've never heard that part of the legend.

But they do say that if anything ever happens to Saurus Rock,

bad luck will descend upon the Great Valley.

Is it all true, Grandpa?

Well, (CHUCKLES) it's a grand adventure,

and a really good story.

And it is nice to think that somewhere out there

is a Lone Dinosaur watching over us all.

Grandpa Longneck!

Are you filling these children's heads full of nonsense,

and just before bedtime?

Why, uh, no, I was just...

Yes, I know. But it's late.

Time for little ones to be in the nest,

resting for another day.

She right.

Me pooped.

Night, Littlefoot.

Night, Petrie!

Now, Spike,

do not be scared to walk home in the dark.

The Lone Dinosaur will protect us. He will!

But just in case, you go first.

Come on, you two.

No uppies.

Dinah Dana, sleepy.

Oh, all right. Hop on.

Ow! Don't yank my horns!

They're attached, you know!

And now it's your turn, Littlefoot.

Yes, Grandma.

I'm the Lone Dinosaur.

I can find my way home in the dark

all alone!

Um, you coming?

There he is!

The Lone Dinosaur!

Hiya!

I wonder if it's really all true.

More tree stars!

More tree stars!

Look, over here! Over here!

What are you children doing?

Oh! Hi, Daddy.

Hello, sir. We were just, uh...

Don't you kids realize this is the Time of the Changing Tree Stars?

We can't waste those that haven't fallen yet!

They must be eaten before they dry up.

Do you want us to run out of food entirely?

Now, now. There's no need to frighten the young ones.

Anyways, Cera, you should be watching the twins!

Daddy, I am watching them!

Oh, really?

Then where are they?

Right here. See?

Oh! I knew those Longnecks should've been watching!

Way to go! You almost got me in big trouble.

Oh, Dana no no!

Boohoo Dinah!

What we gonna do now?

We do not want Cera's dad mad at us again!

No, no, no!

Hey, I got it!

We can play "Lone Dinosaur"!

Huh?

How do you play?

Well, one of us is the Lone Dinosaur,

one of us is the Sharptooth,

and the rest are the ones who get chased and saved!

Who gets to be the Lone Dinosaur?

Well, it was my idea.

Then who's the Sharptooth?

Well, it should be somebody who's pretty big

and can act pretty mean.

Me?

Cerrie! Cerrie! Cerrie!

How come I have to be the bad guy?

Well, you, uh, you're so good at pretend.

'Member how you scare twins last night?

It scared me!

It scared Spike, too! Right, Spike?

Then it's settled!
