Dinocroc is very scary!

In the of dinosaur rescue a boy called Arg and his pet Krik-Krik went on a hunt with Arg's dad and some cavemen to hunt Dinocrock. Arg and the cavemen went on their boats looking for Dinocrock. All of a sudden, Dinocrock jumped out of the water and broke all the boats except for Arg's. When their boats were smashed into little pieces, all the cavemen swam back to the shore but Arg's dad and Krik-Krik swam to a rock. Dinocrock stuck his head out of the water and went closer and closer to Arg's dad and Krik-Krik.

When Dinocrock was close enough, he opened his mouth wide and Arg jumped onto his back and stabbed him with his spear. Arg's dad and Krik-Krik cheered for Arg because he killed Dinocrock

My favourite part was when Arg killed Dinocrock because Arg is only 12 years old and Dinocrock is a legend dinosaur.
