7. A Baby Dinosaur
A big T. Rex woke up and said,
“I’m hungry, but I won’t eat bread.
A baby dinosaur tastes great.
I’ll eat it up! I just can’t wait!”
A baby heard him when he spoke.
He knew the threat was not a joke.
“I’m very smart,” the baby said.
He ran home to get help instead.
His family said, “Don’t give up hope.”
They hid their baby on the slope.
They drove the bully far away.
And T. Rex didn’t eat that day.
