Dirt on My Shoe

"In fact," the ranger countinued, "we have found fossils up here of large and
small dinosaurs."

Jordan and Kaitlyn were hiking on the Rainbow Ravine Trail with their families. As they were walking along, Pointing to Jordan's feet, Kaitlyn asked, "are you sure you want to take those brand new tennis shoes out here?" Jordan laughed and said, "They are going to get dirty one day. Come on, let's go!" They took off running and they climbed into the dry, empty canyon. Kaitlyn said, "I wonder if anything has ever lived here." Then, Jordan answered, "I think so. MIllions of years ago, places like this had lots of plants and animals. There might even be fossils here." Jordan looked at his new shoes. They were covered in sand and dirt. Jordan grabbed a handful of dirt and let it sift through his hand. The dirt landed right on his new shoes. Kaitlyn and Jordan walked back to the trail. They passed a group of hikers. A ranger explained, "Millions of years ago, there was lots of life up here. We have found fossils up here of large and small dinosaurs." Jordan and Kaitlyn stepped closer to listen. The ranger said, "Not all fossibls are of animals. There are sea shell and plant fossils up here." Then, Jordan and Kaitlyn ran to catch up with their families. They came back home. Jordan took off his shoes and shook the dirt out of both of them into the paper cup. He thought it's not just dirt. He is going to put it under his microscope at home. There are things in it he can't see right now.
This book is easy. I thought I want to go there and I want to find fossils. I like to explore. When I read, I was excited by the story. I recommend this book to you. (309)
