Mike, a 12-year-old boy, lived in a hillside village. His neighboring village was famous because of a great discovery there. In 2003, paleontologists（古生物学家）found the bones（骨头）of the largest dinosaur（恐龙）in Europe in a field near his neighboring village.

麦克是一个 12 岁的男孩，住在一个山坡上的村庄里。他的邻村因为一项重大发现而闻名遐迩。2003 年，古生物学家在邻村附近的田野里发现了欧洲最大恐龙的骨头。

Mike liked dinosaurs more than anything else in the world. He also believed that there was an amazing dinosaur bone under the ground of his own village. His dream was to be the first person to find it.

迈克喜欢恐龙胜过世界上任何其他东西。他还相信，在自己村子的地下有一具神奇的恐龙骨。他的梦想就是成为第一个找到它的人。

One summer morning, Mike was exploring（勘查）in a field near a river. He looked up to see his two friends Fern and Pepe running toward him with a colorful kite. Mike enjoyed playing with his friends and began to fly the kite with them. As he ran, he fell to the ground. "I caught my left foot on this grey object," he said.

一个夏天的早晨，迈克正在河边的田野里探险（勘查）。他抬头看见他的两个朋友 Fern 和 Pepe 拿着一个五颜六色的风筝向他跑来。迈克很喜欢和朋友们一起玩，于是开始和他们一起放风筝。跑着跑着，他摔倒在地。"他说："我的左脚踩到了一个灰色的东西。"

"A rock," said Fern.

弗恩说："一块石头。

Mike looked at it carefully." I don't think it's a rock," he said excitedly.

迈克仔细看了看"。我觉得这不是石头，"他兴奋地说。

"Let me pull it out," said Pepe.

"让我把它拉出来。"佩佩说。

"No," said Mike. "It's better to leave the object right here."

"不，"迈克说。"最好把东西留在这里。

Mike and the boys ran to school to tell their teacher. The teacher called the paleontologist's office. The next day, a paleontologist came to the village to examine the object. "It could be a dinosaur bone," he said. Soon, many paleontologists came and more bones were found. They turned out to come from a new kind of dinosaur.

"迈克和孩子们跑到学校告诉老师。老师给古生物学家办公室打了电话。第二天，一位古生物学家来到村子里检查这个东西。"他说："这可能是恐龙骨。不久，许多古生物学家都来了，发现了更多的骨头。这些骨头原来来自一种新的恐龙。
