THE DINOSAUR’S PACKED LUNCH
by Jacqueline Wilson
For Sean William MacLahlan
Chapter One
NATALIE WAS FED
up.
The class were doing a project on flying.
She had made a big bird but his wings went wonky. He wouldn’t fly.
Natalie talked to her friends.
“What did you do on Saturday?” Natalie asked.
“I went swimming,” said Clare.
“I went to McDonald’s,” said Zoe.
“I went to the football match,” said Lee.
“I went shopping with my nan,” said Clive. “She gave me five pounds. And she bought me chocolates. Yum yum.”
“Do you want to hear what I did on Saturday?” said Natalie. “First I went swimming and there were real dolphins in the pool and they gave me a ride. Then I went to McDonald’s and I had twenty Big Macs and twenty strawberry milk shakes. And then I went to this football match and I was the mascot and I scored a goal and everyone cheered. And then I went shopping with my nan and she gave me fifty pounds and lots and lots and lots of chocolates.”
“How many chocolates?” said Clive.
“Natalie’s telling stories, silly,” said Lee.
“Settle down, children!” said Mr Hunter. “Natalie, get on with your work and stop telling stories. It’s not story-time until this afternoon – when we’re going to have a special treat.”
“I want a special treat now,” Natalie muttered. “This is boring, boring, boring.”
She sighed.
She stretched.
She looked up at the window. She looked at the plant in the pot on the window sill.
And the plant in the pot moved.
Natalie blinked.
The plant in the pot moved again. Upwards!
Was the plant in the pot flying?
Then Natalie saw!
The plant in the pot wasn’t flying.
It was the saucer.
It was an ordinary flower-patterned saucer. But today it had grown wings.
