An eventful daytrip (Fiction Narrative)

To believe that scientists have succeeded in reversing extinction by bringing back long-dead
animals like dinosaurs to our lives by changing the genetic code in the DNA of extinct animals'
closest living descendants has left us all dumb-founded.

My school organised a day trip to the Jurassic National Park for 8th graders last week.
Around 6.30 a.m., my classmates and I assembled at the front gate, forming a line to enter the
Advanced Microcontroller Bus. To go, we were all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The bus
stopped at a petrol station surrounded by restaurants on our way. For breakfast, our teachers
got each of us a pack of Nasi Lemak. Following that, we continued on our journey.

We were ecstatic to see a massive dinosaur figure erected at the main gate when we
arrived. To begin, we visited the Innovation Center's Hologram display, which included full-size
holograms of dinosaurs that also explained the dinosaurs' genesis. For example their Allosaurus,
Ankylosaurus, Baryonyx, Hadrosaurus, and the most well-known Tyrannosaurus Rex were
among the dinosaurs we read about.

After that, the teacher-in-charged distributed us in groups to go on the Gyrosphere Ride, we

were all so excited for our turns. We learned that the advanced invisible fence technology keeps
the dinosaurs that are observed from roaming astray without the use of unnecessary cages and
bars. Then, our group went to see the Mosasaurus's Live Feeding Show on the tribune which is
protected by an electrified fence. As the expedition progressed, we visited the dig site in a
flapping mess tent, a flatbed truck loaded with wrapped fossils, explored various dinosaur
exhibition, and a lunch stop not far from the tribune.

Leisie dropped her backpack within the Velociraptor paddock while we were exploring the
Velociraptors' territory. As she reached for it, she mistakenly fell into the Velociraptor paddock.
The crowd was a bolt from the blue. The Velociraptor trainer Leon, immediately hopped in the
paddock in front Leisei as he saw three raptor running towards. He made eye contact and raised
his hand as a sign that he means no harm and viewed them as friends. Surprisingly, the raptors
appeared to understand Leon's behavior and slowly back away, leaving Leisie and Leon
unharmed. Leisie expressed her gratitude to Leon for saving her life and incredibly being able to
tame the raptors. "I don't control them; it's a mutual respect relationship," Leon replied with a
genuine smile.

At around 6 p.m., we returned to school. Despite our exhaustion, we had a marvelous time
together and learned new knowledge to extend our horizons. But, most crucially, we learnt that
some dinosaurs are sentient animals capable of expressing feelings such as sorrow, empathy,
enjoyment, and devotion, rather than creatures that roam around mindlessly
