Dennis Nedry jumped into a truck. He had to hurry if he was going to make that boat. Clutching the shaving cream can full of dinosaur specimens, he drove through the park gates. A moment later he came to another gate. This one said DANGER! ELECTRIFIED FENCE! THIS DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED WHEN FENCE IS ARMED! But Nedry knew the fence was turned off. He reached over and pushed it open. Then he raced toward the docks, driving deeper into the park.

The rain beat against the vehicle. It was coming down so hard, Nedry could barely see. He stepped on the gas. Time was running out. He had to get to the ship!

Ten minutes passed. “I should have been there by now,” Nedry muttered to himself. He checked his watch. When he looked up, there was a cement wall right in front of him! He slammed on the brakes.

The truck skidded off the road, landing in a muddy ditch. Nedry put the truck in reverse. The tires spun, but the vehicle didn’t move. It was stuck. Nedry sighed as he got out. He’d have to push.

Hoot, hoot! A soft noise came from the woods. Was it an owl? Nedry shined his flashlight into the trees. There was nothing there. Hoot, hoot! Nedry froze. This time he saw something. And it wasn’t an owl.

It was a dinosaur. Nedry peered at it through the rain. He didn’t think it looked dangerous. Only four feet tall, it was spotted and had a bright crest on its head. And it was hopping around like a kangaroo. Nedry almost laughed. He didn’t know it was a Dilophosaurus—the dinosaur with the poisonous spit.

“Nice boy,” said Nedry. “Now run along. I have to move the truck.”

The dinosaur didn’t listen. It circled Nedry playfully. Hoot, hoot! it called. It was acting like it wanted to play. But it was getting in Nedry’s way.

“Go on!” said Nedry. “Go home! Dinnertime! Aren’t you hungry?”

The dinosaur just stared at him.

Nedry spied a stick on the ground. Picking it up, he shouted, “Fetch!” Then he tossed it behind a tree.

The Dilophosaurus leaped behind the tree. But a second later it was back. Hoot! it called, jumping right in front of Nedry. Nedry was so startled, he fell backward. He didn’t feel like laughing now. He was angry.

“I said, beat it!” Nedry picked up a rock and threw it at the dinosaur.

The Dilophosaurus hooted softly. It sounded sad, almost as if its feelings were hurt. Then it hopped away.

Finally, Nedry set to work on the truck. He almost had it out of the ditch when he heard the hooting again. The Dilophosaurus was standing a few feet away. Suddenly, it reared back its head, then snapped it forward. Splat! A big glob of spit smacked Nedry in the chest. Splat! Another glob hit him in the face.

“Ahh!” screamed Nedry. The first shot had just felt strange. But the spit that hit his face seeped into his eyes. Nedry felt a shooting pain there. An incredible shooting pain.
