Littlefoot looked are Carnegie with squinted eyes to comvey he was skeptical.
“What is a Sharptooth doing so close to the Great Valley? Saurus Rock is on outskirts of our Valley.”
Carnegie could tell this Longneck was shrewd for his age. So he devised an answer.
“I am teaching him the Way of the Sharptooth.”
Ruby chimed in. “That is my job, my job that is.”
Carnegie chuckled.
“An Eggstealer teach a Sharptooth what it means to be a Sharptooth, how amusing!”
Ducky spoke, “Eggstealer?!”
Carnegie looked at the Duckbill, and said “You didn’t know she was an egg thief? Intriguing.”
Ruby retorted, “I do not eat eggs in Valley, I promise!”
Carnegie chuckled once more.
“Sure.. you only eat those of my kind, Chomper’s kind. How many like your friend have you snuffed out in your egg feasts?”
Ruby became angry.
“Your one to talk sharptooth, your kind eats us, us you eat!”
Carnegie looked at Chomper,
“And so will he oneday.”
Littlefoot was disturbed by this train of talk.
“That’s not true! Chomper is a good sharptooth! He’d never eat us!”
Cera said little, she actually agreed with Carnegie because her father Mr. Threehorn had taught her Sharpteeth cannot be taught to be something else than meat eaters.
Carnegie let out a bellowing laugh.
“Good? Good! You Leaf Eaters and your conceptions of morality, anything that eats the living is evil and yet if we Sharpteeth did not thin your ranks, your precious Valley would overpopulate and you’d consume your green resources. You need us, you need Sharpteeth!”
