[Arf arf]

[Arf]

In an old house in paris

That was covered with vines...

Lived little girls

In two straight lines.

[Dog outside barks]

[Arf]

[Arf] [ruff ruff]

[Both dogs barking]

[Grrrr...arf arf]

They left the house at half past :...

[Arf arf arf arf]

In two straight lines...

[Roowrr]

The smallest one...

Was madeline.

And never very far away...

Was genevieve...

The one-time stray,

Who'd rescued madeline one day.

In the back of the house, a garden grew,

With flowers purple, pink, and blue.

There were rows of cabbage, rows of peas,

And giant shady chestnut trees.

With miss clavel, they planted seeds

And watered, howed, and pulled the weeds.

[Talking and giggling]

Thanks to you, mes petites,

We have the loveliest garden in all of paris.

And we have qualified for the belle paris garden tour.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

As one spring day turned into night,

Miss clavel said...

Ohh! Something is not right!

The lovely garden was a mess,

And miss clavel was in distress.

Our garden! Our lovely garden!

The yard, once clean and neat and green,

Alive with daffodil and bean,

Was the biggest mess you've ever seen.

Our beautiful vegetables.

Our beautiful flowers!

And our beautiful vines.

Who could have done such a thing?!

And so at the old house, not so covered with vines,

They viewed the disaster in two straight lines.

Along with pepito, the boy from next door,

They all pondered the sight that made their eyes sore.

Mes enfants, do any of you know

Who has ruined our magnificent garden?

No, miss clavel.

But I am sure the perpetrator left some clues.

And being the experienced detectives that we are,

We will catch the culprit.

¡Mira, madeline!

There are holes everywhere!

Hmm...

And here is a trail of footprints.

Madeline thought it would not hurt

To follow that long trail of dirt.

Come, pepito! Viens!

It leads inside the house.

The trail led down the basement stairs.

A set of prints, often in pairs,

Continued in-between two chairs.

Regardez, pepito!

The footprints end here.

¡Mira, madeline!

Boots and gruets.

And hats and bats.

Who could have brought all these things here?

Then, sleeping soundly like a log...

They saw...genevieve, the beloved dog.

Madeline found it hard to believe...

That the culprit could be genevieve.

[Arf arf]

Look at this-- our missing croquet set!

[Arf]

And miss clavel's old leather gloves.

[Rowr]

And michelin's guide to vacant lots in paris.

Genevieve, did you bury all these things and then dig them up?"], Index,…}


[Rowr rowr]

Mai pourquoi? But what?

[Barking and growling]

To protect these treasures from other dogs?

[Rowr]

[Panting]

Oh, genevieve.

So, as the sunny day unfolded,

Genevieve was leashed and scolded.

Genevieve, what you have done is not right.

You will stay here in the back and no digging.

Comprend tu?

[Barking]

[Whimpers]

But just as soon as the clock struck :...

Genevieve began to dig again.

[Digging]

Huh?

Oh, dear!

Genevieve! [Rowr?]

I told you, no more digging!

[Gasps]

Miss clavel stopped.

She made not a sound as she looked at the object

That lay in the ground.

Could this really be something

That genevieve found?

Genevieve! What is this? Where did you get it?

[Cries of surprise and excited chatter]

Everyone pondered the remarkable sight.

It was smooth, it was heavy,

And a creamy off-white.

[Together] what could it be?

We will have to call a special scientist

To find out what it is.

A special scientist! A special scientist!

So miss clavel dialed datant--

To call a paleontologist.

Bonjour!

Bonjour, monsieur! Bonjour, monsieur!

This is dr. La fossil, ma petite.

He is a paleontologist.

What is a paleontologist, miss clavel?

Paleontologists study the times before people lived

By digging up old things.

And you say you have made a significant discovery

Behind this house?

It was not i.

It was genevieve.

Aha!

Genevieve is a very talented young lady.

Uh, she is not exactly a lady.

This is genevieve.

[Arf arf]

[Panting]

But this is a beast,

Not a paleontologist.

Pardonnez-moi, monsieur,

But this beast is the best paleontologist in all of paris.

Uh, monsieur la fossil,

Can you determine what this is?

Argh!

Bleh!

[Miss clavel gasps]

Oui, mademoiselle,

It is a stegosaurus thigh bone.

Ohh! A stegosaurus thigh bone!

Oh, dear!

The giant thigh bone was a classic

From ancient times known as jurassic.

Genevieve has dug up a stegosaurus thigh bone.

Incroyable!

What is a stegosaurus?

A large dinosaur with lots of scales and plates.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

A large dinosaur?

[Together] with lots of scales and plates?

Hoping to find other bones just as big,

Dr. La fossil organized a dig.

The next day, in a light, light drizzle,

With spade and shovel, pick and chisel,

Carrying cameras, charts, and signs,

More paleontologists came in two straight lines.

Bonjour, monsieur paleontologists.

Bonjour! Bonjour!

We have come to see if there are any more bones in back of your house"], index,…}

Or anything else from prehistoric times.

Prehistoric times?

Oh, long before people were around to start writing history."], Index,…}

How long ago was that?

Well, the stegosaurus lived million years ago.

[Chomp] stop!

Hee hee!

That is even older than miss clavel!

C'est vrai.

Miss clavel does not look a day over million.

Oh, ha ha! Dear.

There were really dinosaurs here in paris?

There were dinosaurs all over the earth.

Just the way their relatives, the reptiles and birds,

Are now all over the earth.

But paris was not paris then.

And our garden was not our garden.

¡Mira! Heavy machinery!

Bring the steam shovel in here, garcon!

[Gasps]

My roses.

Oh, do not worry, mademoiselle.

We just need to remove one little layer of dirt.

Oh!

Oh, dear.

Oops.

Now, back it in here!

My radishes!

Oh!

Je regrette, so sorry.

The other way, boys!

Ai, yi yi!

Oh!

My pansies!

Oh, dear.

I, too, adored those pansies,

But this is science.

Miss clavel described the place

To their head trustee, lord cucuface.

Ohh!

And he arrived with speed and grace.

Whoa!

May we have your permission, monsieur,

To remove just one more teeny-tiny little layer of dirt?

It is for science.

For--for science?

Anything for science!

But soon the dig got out of hand.

It was not as miss clavel had planned.

And while the diggers excavated,

The little girls commiserated.

We want our house back!

Mes petites, do not be silly.

We still have our house.

Come. Let us break our bread.

We love our bread.

We love our butter,

But most of all, we love each other.

Oh, dear, after their grace was said,

Ohh!

They found they had a lack of bread.

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Digging is hard work, little girls.

The crew has worked up quite and appetite.

Hmmph! Hmmph! Hmmph!

When they brushed their teeth that night,

It seemed that something was not right.

Someone has been using my toothbrush.

To clean rocks! To clean rocks!


Who would think a single bone

Could create such a destruction zone?

The yard was so dug up and muddy

That it was difficult to study.

Allo, nicole,

How much is plus--

[Crash]

Plus--

[Crash]

Is...

Je ne sais pas. I do not know.

It was hard to keep on learning

While the earth outside was turning.

Surely this would fail to please

The chairman of the school's trustees.

Lord cucuface, it is impossible to--

[Crash]

S'il vous plait!

It is impossible to...

Je regrette,

But we must suspend the dig for time being.

Yay!yay! Yay! Yay!

Träs bien. We will leave.

There is nothing more to be found here anyway.

May we have your permission to take the bone to the museum?"], Index,…}

[Arf?]

[Uh-uh uh-uh]

Must they take it, lord cucuface?

I'm sorry, miss clavel.

It is for science.

Je regrette, genevieve.

You must say adieu to your bone.

[Awoo]

[Awoo-oo]

Oh!oh! Oh! Oh!

Now the girls were quite alone,

Without the diggers, without the bone.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Are you certain this house is on our garden tour?

Oui, oui.

Hmm.

Träs intéressant.

Hmm.

Very interesting.

These will make our garden look nice

Until the new flowers and vegetables grow.

Ooh! Ooh! Ahh! Ahh!

Ah ha ha!

Oh, madeline, you are quite the gardener.

Then madeline went down to retrieve

Their beloved genevieve.

Genevieve! Come out, genevieve!

Ohh!

It says, "adieu."

Bye-bye.

Oh, no!

Genevieve.

Miss clavel, genevieve is gone.

She has gone away.

Look, genevieve has left a trail.

It goes through here.

They checked jardin tuileries.

Oh! Oh!

They even asked a friendly flea.

[Arf arf]

[Arf arf]

They stopped at an all-dog cafe,

But genevieve wasn't there that day.

Their very favorite super hound

Was truly nowhere to be found.

But the next day on the avenue,

Madeline found an important clue.

Pepito, look.

The guide to vacant lots.

I bet genevieve is nearby.

[Arf]

Pepito, did you hear something?

Genevieve?

[Arf arf]

Oh, genevieve, how we missed you.

[Awoo]

I know. You also miss your bone...

And I think I know where you can find it.

[Arf arf]

Voilä! The museum of natural history.

[Arf arf]

Genevieve was full of vim

When she saw her favorite limb.

Madams and monsieurs,

I'm happy to introduce the paleontologist

Who found this important bone.

[Gasping]

Then, who arrived most suddenly?

The honored mayor of paris.

Bon jour, mes amís.

This thigh bone is just what we needed.

Our stegosaurus skeleton is now complete.

And for this very important discovery,

We have only to thank...


Genevieve.

[Arf arf]

I am honored to present you

With this medal of honor.

[Arf arf]

[Applause]

Now, smile, genevieve.

Back at the old house that now had more vines,

There were no more yelps,

And there were no more whines.

And for miss clavel it was not too hard,

To give up a portion of the yard.

This will be your own private garden, genevieve.

[Arf]

[Panting]

Oh, oui, genevieve.

You may do whatever you like.

[Arf]

Early morning brought the sound

Of scratching dirt upon the ground.

Look, genevieve has found another bone.

It looked like the other, though smaller in size.

Everyone thought it was surely a prize.

Once again, the experts came...

To see a bone that would bring fame.

Hmm.

Ahem!

Allo. The results are in.

Is it a triceratops?

A pterodactyl?

A tyrannosaurus rex?

You are wrong, mes enfants.

It is a moo-moo saurus.

A moo-moo saurus? A moo-moo saurus?

Moo-moo saurus: otherwise known as...

A cow.

A very large cow, but a cow, nonetheless.

That means genevieve can keep her bone.

Genevieve was quite euphoric.

[Crunch]

Her new bone was not prehistoric.

Miss clavel?

Oui?

The gardening committee is proud to present you

With this special prize for originality in the belle paris garden tour."], Index,…}

Originality?

Merci beaucoup.

Oui. It is not every day

That you find such dear little potted plants in a city garden."], Index,…}

Not to mention such dear little hills.

Everyone left, and the girls broke their bread.

We love our bread.

We love our butter,

But most of all, we love each other.

And brushed their teeth...

And went to bed.

Good night, little girls.

I hope you sleep well.

Good night.

Good night, dear miss clavel.

Genevieve slept with her newly found bone.

Although just a rump, she could call it her own.

[Slurp]

She curled up with her treasure,

Right there on the floor,

Far, far in time from the last dinosaur.

And that's all there is,

There isn't any more.
