Chapter 1 Robin meets Hypsi

Little Robin’ s hair was bright red standing up in a massif curls. He thoroughly enjoyed jumping up and down in the waves close to the beach of the big, big sea. He was beaming all over the face and cheering joyfully at the fluffiness of the foam and the waves as high as mountains that rolled towards him and back again. He could have stayed there forever. His Mummy enjoyed herself as well. She was sitting on the beach of Compton Bay with her friend talking and laughing.

All of a sudden there was an extremely huge wave rolling towards Robin. When it was about to swallow the little boy a long green neck with triangle-shaped peaks popped up and a huge mouth grabbed Robin by his swimming trunks. The animal jumped across the fields and meadows following the hedges towards Mottistone Garden. Little Robin screamed at the top of his voice: “My shoes, my new shoes, I need my sandals!” But the huge animal held him tightly, no matter how much he screamed. Robin finally gave up. He accepted his fate whatever it would be.

The strange animal stopped at a clearing between huge old trees in the very northern corner of the National Trust Gardens. Right there this animal put the little human onto the ground and sat majestically on his hind legs. He crossed his green arms in front of his green belly and said with a squeaky voice: “What were you doing in the waves? Didn’t you realize that they were dangerous?” Robin had a close look at the creature with the huge green hind legs and the little head and asked: “Who are you? A kangaroo?” The animal snorted huffily and said: “Silly you! Kangaroos live in Australia and definitely not here on the Isle of Wight!” Full of admiration Robin looked at the animal and asked: “How come you are so clever?” “Because I am so old”, replied the animal and would have blushed had it not been so green. Maybe the colour of his skin had intensified a bit, but Robin didn’t notice this. The animal asked: “How old are you?” With the help of his little hand Robin counted and held up four fingers thus proudly presenting his age. “Then you are four years old”, said the animal. “I am 144 million years old!” Robin nodded understandingly with his mop of curly red hair bouncing up and down. He asked: „Is this more or less?” The animal showed his teeth, which as if he were laughing and said: “Much, much older”. “Oh, I see”, said the little boy. “You are older and you are much taller than me. Can you please lift me up to the top branch of that big tree over there?” “Of course, I can”, said the animal and placed Robin onto the second highest branch of the very old oak tree. Now they were sitting face to face and Robin said: “Come on! If you are not a kangaroo and if you are older than me - who are you then?” The animal said: “I am a Hypsilophodon.” “Awesome” shouted Robin “but please, tell me now who you are. I can see that you know difficult words.” The animal said: “I am a dinosaur.” Robin’s older brother had told him that they didn’t exist any more. So he objected: “Silly you! Dinosaurs don’t exist any more!” “Correct”, said the animal “but I am still around. Or do you think I am not real?” “Oh no”, said Robin, although he was quite astonished. “Well, then just call me Hypsi. I am your friend”, he said self-confidently. “Are you really my friend?” asked Robin. “Of course! After all I saved you from drowning in the waves. That means friendship, doesn’t it?” Robin looked at the green creature which had a mouth almost like a beak and whose eyes were very dark. The little boy hugged him. He felt cold and smooth. “Be careful!” shouted Hypsi.

“Stop it! I don’t like being touched at all.” “But you are my friend and friends must hug”, protested Robin. Hypsi was
