0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Amber, I'm eight years old. Welcome to the Makedup stories. Join the podcast. |
0:25.6 | Hello, and welcome to Makeup. I'm your host, Amanda. Today we're finishing our story, Patrick and the Moving Island. |
0:29.6 | Last time, Patrick found a mysterious island in the middle of Lake Wanaka. |
0:34.6 | When he explored it, he met Ruah, a Moa-sized Hadrosaur, and Horatio, |

2:09.6 | Patrick noticed faint carvings on the back of an old tree, |
2:14.2 | spirals, stars, and symbols that looked like constellations. |
