Just get in, Hari told C.J. "We're bringing tons of videogames, remember?" They set the dial for a 100 million years and pressed the button. Suddenly, dinosaurs whizzed by outside. The time machine stopped. C.J opened the hatch and looked around. Hey, this is weird !" they said. They found some people and said they needed a million dollars. The people handed them some rocks and stones. Hari and C.J. tossed them aside, and said, "No, money." "Hoo haa hoo!" hooted the people. C.J. turned to Hari and said, "We went too far back in time. To the time of cavemen." The two scampered back to the time machine and pressed the E button.
"What's that E mean?"
The prehistoric Eocene period," replied Hari. They came into a totally weird spot, in a jungle! They wandered about, and once came upon a weasel-like creature, an Ailuravus , and it jumped on them in a burst of licking. C.J. inquired if they could take it home, as it appeared to like them.
Hari said not to, because they didn't know what it ate. He grabbed some oil palm tree fruit and tried it. "Yum! Good!" he said. He went back to the time machine and C.J. said, "Why did you eat that fruit?" Hari came out of the time machine. "I put the oil palm tree fruit in our snack storage. I just tried it to see if it tasted good." The boys ducked under a vine and scrambled into the forest. They collected a lot of Elaeis [oil palm] tree fruit. Then they went back to the time machine and put all the fruit away. A strange growl came from a nearby thicket.
