Daylight dwaned on the Great Valley, as ali stirred. Her mother was still asleep, as was the rest of her herd. "another great day" She said to herself, time to find Littlefoot, cera and the others." She got up, stretched, and started on her way. "Ali?' Her mother said softly. 'Yes, mother?' Ali stopped. "Go ahead and play with your friends, but be home when the Great circle disappears."Her mother(whose namne was Anne) said "yes, mom, I will.' Ali smiled and headed off across the great valley. Her herd had returned her for a time to rest , ands she was glad for it., she had been able to reunite with her good friends littlefoot, Cera, Duckie, Petrie , and Spike.
