The Lost World

Professor Challenger started to speak. ‘White men don’t often go to some areas of the Amazon. I went to one of these areas and I studied the animals there.

After many months, I finished my work. I was in asmall Indian village on my last night in the Amazon. The natives told me there was a man in the village. His health wasn’t good. I went to see him, but he was dead! He was a white man and in the village they didn’t know him.

The man's backpack was next to his bed. I looked at the objects in the backpack. The man was an artist! There were poems in the bag and there were some pictures of the river. Then I saw a small book in his trousers. Here it is. What do you think?’ I opened the book. There were pictures of a man in a jumper, Indians in the village and women with babies.

‘They’re pictures of people,’ I said.

‘Look at the next page,’ said the Professor.

Then I saw a picture of an extraordinary animal. It

had a bird’s head, a lizard’s body and a long tail.

‘What is it?’ I asked.

‘A dinosaur!’ the Professor answered.
