T Rex never learnt manners

T Rex provides a bit of comic relief. This is a story I told my children when they were small and then also told children in schools. I dedicate this story to my good friend Indira Vijaysimha who let me tell this story to the children of Poorna School which she directs in Bangalore. I also thank Zafar, my colleague who is teaching me blogging skills from Toronto!

When T Rex was born from his egg he was quite small. but he grew quickly and then

started becoming quite a bad mannered Rex, going

about biting everyone in sight.

All the dinos were fed up.

T Rex must go to Dino School- suggested Wiseoldsaurus, and the other dinos agreed.

Naturally, it wasn't easy to get T to go to Dino School.

Clawing and roaring, biting and snapping- the other dinos managed to get

T to Dino School.

Miss Daintisaurus was going to be interviewing him- she wanted to ask him questions like- what is the color of the sun and what shape is the volcano mountain and other such things.

but T Rex ate up Miss Daintisaurus even before she could get started.

the Principle, Mr Strictoldsaurus said that T Rex had

failed his admission test even before he got started and he most

certainly couldn't come to

Dino School.
