The Untiming of Ben and Ruby

Episode 3: Don't Count Your Dinosaur Eggs After They Hatch

When we last saw Ben and Ruby, they escaped a dinosaur attack in prehistory and gathered information about the Halszkaraptor escuilliei for Alexa. They also found a plastic water bottle near a bush.

When we were back in Ben's room, we realized that we'd been gone for only 20 minutes, but it felt like days. Ben and I were totally speechless. And our T-shirts were wet with prehistoric sweat. When we finally opened our mouths, only three words came out: plastic water bottle.

"Maybe a time traveler from the future left it, Ben," I said. "Maybe in the future, people go on dinosaur safaris. And the bottle was a piece of futuristic trash."

"Nice try, Ruby. But I doubt they still use plastic in the future. No, I'm thinking this has something to do with you-know-who."

"Dinner's almost ready," Ben's mom called from downstairs. I figured now was the time to come clean.

"There's…uh…something I have to tell you before I go," I said.

"What is it, Ruby?"

"I…uh…brought some stuff back with me…from prehistory."

"You WHAT?!!!!!"

"Just some duck-dino teeth," I said, pulling them out of my pocket, "and some eggshells—"

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Ben crazy-whispered. "You know what Alexa said. No souvenirs, NOT EVER. So why did you do it, Ruby? WHY?"

"Because they'll make one fabulous science fair project, that's why.

"We can't, Ruby—"

"C'mon, Ben," I said. "I mean, you did blow up our other science fair project—"

"Well, it isn't easy turning chicken poop into fuel—"

"Or pleasant. But the point is, we need a really great science fair project. Or we'll never beat out Eureka and Arno!"

Eureka Dalrymple and Arno Sevaris are the snootiest teacher's pets in the history of middle school. These two always get perfect grades in everything. And I've always wanted to bring them down a notch or two.

"But what if Alexa finds out?

"Who cares if she does? I mean, what's the worst she can do? Make us return the stuff?

"I dunno about this, Ruby…"

"One other thing. I want to use the video of the dinosaur hatching."

"What video? I didn't film it, Ruby. I just aimed the phone at it and those green lights—"

"I filmed it, Ben," I said, wagging my cell phone.

"You WHAT?!!!!!"

"And I see two big blue science fair ribbons in our future!"

The next morning, I told everyone in school that me and Ben found a duck-dinosaur egg down by Hellman Cove and filmed it hatching. I said that it was going to be our new science project and wait 'til Mr. Ensidine, our science teacher, saw it!

Everybody looked at me like I was nuts. Ben kept hiding in the boys' bathroom. And Eureka and Arno had a look of horror on their faces.

"Good!" I thought. "Pure jealousy!"

"But, Ruby," Mr. Ensidine asked me in science class, "how can a dinosaur egg survive millions of years?"

"How should I know, Mr. Ensidine?" I answered. "You're the scientist around here. All I know is what I saw—and filmed."

"C'mon, Ruby," he said, after he watched the video. "You and Ben cooked this up with video-editing software. Nice job, too!"

"Yeah," Eureka snarled, and Arno said, "It's a fake."

"Then how do you explain these?" I said. I pulled out the teeth and the eggshell pieces from my knapsack.

In a matter of hours, a Harvard paleontologist was on his way to look at them. Everybody in town was out looking for the hatched duck-dino. And Alexa sent us back to prehistory to return everything.

"OUTRAGEOUS!" she thundered as the pale blue light and orange shimmers turned to blackness.

"I'm never talking to you again," Ben muttered as we placed the teeth and the eggshells outside the cave. And that's when I found the Snickers wrapper stuck in a bush.

The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"

The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.

Review the following line from the text:

Tourists who had paid money for a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can.

We were all ranked together at the valuation. Men and women, old and young, married and single, were ranked with horses, sheep, and swine. There were horses and men, cattle and women, pigs and children, all holding the same rank in the scale of being, and all were subjected to the same narrow examination. Silvery-headed age and sprightly youth, maids and matrons had to undergo the same indelicate inspection. At this moment, I saw more clearly than ever the brutalizing effects of slavery upon both slave and slaveholder."

This may be unintentional, but I just changed my level as I was actually kidding about some things in the profile. Whenever I ask questions, you guys may get confused about the level, but now, it won't be as confusing. Also, if you want to explain about this issue of leveling, you can answer this question. Don't just put random things as your answer, you have to say something specific.

Read the excerpt below. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the excerpt?

question 1:
In 1944 Elion joined the Burroughs Wellcome Laboratories (now part of GlaxoSmithKline (a company that makes prescription medicines)). There she was first the assistant and then the colleague of Hitchings, with whom she worked for the next four decades. Elion and Hitchings developed an array (variety) of new drugs that were effective against leukemia, autoimmune disorders, urinary tract infections, gout, malaria, and viral herpes.
1 Elion believed that new drugs could be developed to help people.
2 Elion had to work for Hitchings because she was a woman.
3 Elion worked hard for more than 40 years to earn money for retirement.
4 Elion and her colleagues were responsible for developing important drugs.
question 2:
Read the following paragraph. How does sentence 4 develop the main idea of the paragraph?

Gertrude Belle Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York City.
She graduated from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in biochemistry in 1937.
Unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman, she took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist.
During this time she also took classes at New York University, where she earned a master's degree in 1941.
Because she could not devote herself to full-time studies, Elion never received a doctorate.
1 This sentence tells readers where she went to school for her doctorate degree.
2 This sentence shows Elion's determination and commitment to learn.
3 This sentence shows that Elion had to try many schools to get accepted into one.
4 This sentence proves the idea that Elion had to learn biochemistry in unusual ways.
