B
Six months pass and Dacty, the pterodactyl, is very big now. During the day he sleeps in Aunt Elizabeth's office and at night he flies around the museum. But one night something strange happens. At midnight Dacty sees lights moving inside the museum. He flies closer to see what is happening. There are two men inside the museum. They are wearing masks and they are trying to open a box. Inside the box there is an old picture.
Suddenly one man looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. "Look, Bert," he says to the other man. "There is a huge bird up there." The other man looks up, but Dacty doesn't move. "Shut up, Eric. Don't be silly. It's only a statue(雕像)," the man says. "Come on. I'll open the box. You look for the gold medal."
While Bert tries to open the box, Dacty flies down and catches Eric. The thief is so scared that he can't say a thing. Dacty flies up and leaves him on top of a statue.
Bert is so busy opening the box that he doesn't see what is happening.
"Hey, where's the knife?" he says, but there is no answer.
"Eric? Where are you, Eric?" he asks.
Then he looks up and sees his friend high above on the statue. Just then Dacty flies down again and catches the second thief. He carries him up to the statue. The two men are very afraid. They start shouting, but there is nobody there to hear them.
In the morning when Aunt Elizabeth comes into the museum she hears the men shouting. Then she sees the broken box. "Help! Help! There's a monster here," the men shout while Dacty flies down to her.
"First things first," Aunt Elizabeth says. She goes into the restaurant, opens the door of the fridge and takes out some fish.
"Here you are, Dacty," she says and touches his head. "Here's your breakfast. Thank you very much. You did a good job." Then she phones the police.
