When Arlo eventually opened his eyes, he could see something large moving toward him. But he couldn't quite make out what it was.
Crack!
Crack!
Something was chopping the brambles in half, loosening their grip on Arlo. A flood of emotion washed over him. It was Poppa! He was standing1 right there! Arlo was shocked.
Poppa continued to pull the brambles off, freeing him completely. "Are you OK?" Poppa asked.
Arlo looked at Poppa uncertainly—was it true? Was it really him? "I missed you so much," said Arlo.
Poppa smiled and curled his tail around Arlo, hugging him. "Come on," he said gently, leading Arlo out of the brambles and away from the storm.
Boom.
Boom.
Crack! The storm continued to rage angrily. Arlo looked up. "Wait," he said, slowing down. "Spot—I can't leave him."
"Spot?"
"That critter... he helped me—and now they took him into the storm."
As the thunder roared and debris2 flew, Arlo flinched3. He was scared, and leaned into Poppa, just like he used to.
"You can't, Arlo," said Poppa.
"But—he needs me!"
"No! It's just a critter," said Poppa firmly, frowning at Arlo.
"He's not a critter," Arlo said, pulling away from Poppa. "He's my friend." Then Arlo turned toward the pass.
"Arlo, this is bigger than you," said Poppa.
"I know," Arlo said. "Haven't you ever been scared, Poppa?"
"Yes. The day I saved you from the river."
"But you did it anyway. Because you loved me. And I love Spot." Arlo's eyes welled up with tears and Poppa's stoic4 face melted into a smile.
"I knew you had it in you," Poppa said proudly. "Go take care of that critter."
Poppa turned and faded into the rain, leaving no footprints behind him.
But Arlo felt different... he felt determined6. As the rain poured down, he strained to break free—
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
The brambles were breaking. He continued, snapping them one section at a time until he was able to push through and get himself out. Then he ran off to find Spot.
最终，当阿乐睁开眼睛时，看到了一个庞然大物在朝他走来，但是他却看不太清那是什么。
噼啪！
噼啪！
有什么东西正在砍荆棘丛，将其斩成了两截，松开了阿乐身上的束缚。一阵狂喜向阿乐涌来。是爸爸！他就站在那里！阿乐惊呆了。
爸爸继续将荆棘丛扯开，让阿乐完全解脱出来。“你还好吗？”爸爸问道。
阿乐难以置信地看了看爸爸——这是真的吗？真的是爸爸吗？“我很想你。”阿乐说。
爸爸微笑着，用尾巴卷起了阿乐，抱着他。“来吧。”他一边温和地说，一边带着阿乐走出荆棘丛，远离了暴风雨。
隆隆。
隆隆。
噼啪！暴风雨还在肆虐。阿乐抬起头来。“等等，”他放慢步子说道，“小不点——我不能弃他不管。”
“小不点？”
“那个小东西……他帮过我——现在翼手龙们把他抓进了暴风雨中。”
雷声滚滚，碎片纷飞，阿乐退缩了。他害怕地依偎在爸爸的怀里，就像以前一样。
“不要去，阿乐。”爸爸说。
“但——他需要我！”
“不！它只是一个小东西而已。”爸爸皱着眉头坚定地对阿乐说。
“他不是小东西，”阿乐挣脱开爸爸的怀抱说，“他是我朋友。”然后，阿乐转身面向山口的方向。
“阿乐，以你的能力，你救不了他的。”爸爸说。
“我明白，”阿乐说，“爸爸，你从来没害怕过吗？”
“害怕过，那天从河里救出你的时候，我就很害怕。”
“但你还是做到了。因为你爱我。而我也爱小不点。”阿乐的眼里涌出了泪水，爸爸坚毅的脸上也浮现出了笑容。
“我知道你肯定行的，”爸爸自豪地说，“去吧，照顾好那个小东西吧。”
爸爸转身消失在了雨幕中，身后没有留下任何脚印 。
阿乐睁开了双眼。他仍被困在密密麻麻的荆棘丛中，爸爸只是一个梦罢了。
但是阿乐感觉大不相同了……他感到内心坚定。雨水倾泻而下，他用力挣脱束缚——
啪！
啪！
啪！
荆棘丛开始断裂了，阿乐继续扯，一次扯一段，直到从荆棘丛中完全挣脱出来。接着，他就跑着去找小不点了。
