The museum is closed You can’t go in the security guard insisted No no a voice from down the hall shouted Mike stood on his tippy-toes and craned his neck so he could see over the arm of the guard It’s okay continued the voice They’re with me
Wearing a white laboratory coat Dr Giovanni came running down the museum corridor waving his hand They’re my guests he repeated Sorry Dr Giovanni said the guard They’re not on the list They cannot enter the museum during off hours Nonsense said Dr Giovanni He placed
his hands on Mike’s shoulder in an almost protective manner Don’t you know who this is The look on the security guard’s face told everybody that he did not This young man has made the most important dinosaur discovery in the last fifty years Mike was convinced at this point that Dr Giovanni was talking about somebody else This young man discovered the T rex eggs that will be displayed this weekend Really The guard squinted inspecting Mike from head to toe Certainly Dr Giovanni said And this is his father the renowned paleontologist Dr Stanley Evans Mike’s father stepped forward and shook hands with the guard Hello there he said
Very nice to meet you Obviously Dr Evans you’ve been here before said Dr Giovanni but I believe this is your son’s first visit Yep that’s right answered Mike Well then began Dr Giovanni as he moved down the hall and opened a large door Let me be the first to welcome you to New York City and the Museum of Natural History
