Stegosaurus had to build a very large raft to go to New Zealand in, as he was also inclined to travel with the Moa Birds, since he could get some time bird watching on his raft before arriving in New Zealand. The raft was made out of a grove of Handroanthus chrysanthus or araguaney, the National tree of Venezuela. Stegosaurus had never encountered this tree before, nor studied it in college! Yet, he found it very delicious.

Stegosaurus and the Moa Birds arrived safely without incident in New Zealand on October 3rd.

“I've enjoyed watching you during our trip from Venezuela to New Zealand,” said Stegosaurus. “Thank you very much for the opportunity.”

“You're welcome,” said Moa Bird. “It is impossible to graze on a raft, so we are glad to be back in our native land of New Zealand where we know our swamps and our upland territory. “It is good to be back on land again.”

“I agree,” said Stegosaurus.

After taking a drink of water, Stegosaurus and the Moa Birds stomped forthrightly through the lowland swamps to the upland that the Moas know so well.

“Home sweet home,” Moa Bird said.

“So much more bucolic than the open sea, “ said Stegosaurus.

Aside from watching his friends the Moa Birds, Stegosaurus enjoyed the open grasslands of New Zealand. Of course, grass, being only a few million years old, was novel to him, and while he enjoyed watching the Moa Birds as they all grazed together, he was also quite content to demonstrate one of the 8 points of similarity that he has with brother horse, particularly the last: “A horse is beautiful when grazing; a Stegosaurus is beautiful when grazing.”

Stegosaurus was so content in grazing and enjoying his meal that he did not notice that he had wandered away from the Moa Birds and was on the upland plains by himself. He was not alone for long as he also did not notice the arrival of one of the Haast's Eagles, and he was startled when it landed beside him.

"Aha!" he exclaimed. "You startled me, Haast's Eagle! I will be glad to watch you as well as I watch my friends the Moa Birds, but you must promise me not to eat them, as they are my friends I will protect them with my cool, spiky tail!"

"Ah, but fear not Stegosaurus. I am the Haast's Eagle who had an altercation with you some time ago, and I recall when you struck me with your cool, spiky tail. I have learned my lesson and do not hunt the Moas well you are here."

"Very good, said Stegosaurus. "Alas, I can see, in spite of your friendly demeanor today you look rather glum. What his wrong?"

"I, and the other Haast's Eagles ...." said Haast's Eagle, pausing for effect.... "We envy those who have such influence over the mammals' modern realm of Science as you do."

"Why is this ?" inquired Stegosaurus.

"This is because we see our food supply, er, friends The Moa Birds be selected by Colossal Biosciences to become de-extinct, and we Haast's Eagles have not. We are still extinct! How I long to fly free, How we long to chase down and eat the Moa Birds....." and then seeing Stegosaurus disapproving expression, the Haast's Eagle quickly backtracked and apologized.

"Sorry, Stegosaurus. Sorry. I know. It is hard not to be a predator when you are one, I am sure you can relate."

"No, actually, I cannot," said Stegosaurus.

"Ah, well, please forgive me. I mean no harm." rejoined Haast's Eagle.

"Forgiven," said Stegosaurus.

"Thank you," said Haast's Eagle, as he continued in his tale.

"We long to hunt the Maori again, and carry off their mammal children to our nests and feed on them ..."

"Wait, wait, wait...." interrupted Stegosaurus. "Should you harm ANY of the mammal children who love me for some reason, you are certain to feel the wrath of my cool spiky tail and the wrath of ALL my cousins in China, whom I will bring here to wack you once again as I did before, with my COOL, SPIKY TAIL!"

"Please, good Stegosaurus. I am sorry. It is hard, given my nature you know to just not want to hunt the mammals, and besides I have a chemical imbalance."

"I am very sorry to hear of your chemical imbalance, but if you eat ANY of the Maori mammals who love me for some reason, you will still have to face the consequences of your actions, and feel the wrath of my cool, spiky tail."

"So it is not permissible to harm the Maori mammal children?"

"It is not," said Stegosaurus.

"I stand corrected," said Haast's Eagle. "Forgive me."

"I am not sure I can trust you, forgive me if I am skeptical." said Stegosaurus uncertainly.

"That said, do not think I lack sympathy for you. You can get treatment for your condition and I will heartily support your health and recovery. But if you harm the children here, especially those who love me, your choice will have severe consequences, so please choose your meals carefully and think before you eat."

"I will do my best, and hope you'll forgive me for attempting to persue the mammal children to supplement my diet."

Then abruptly, a second Haast's Eagle landed beside Stegosuarus.

"Sorry to interrupt you, brother Eagle," said the second Eagle to the first.

"Stegosaurus," said the second Eagle, "I do not mean to alarm you but I have news which will interest you I am sure."

"I will listen," said Stegosaurus, now skeptical of both Haast's Eagles standing beside him.

"I didn't want to believe it either," rejoined the Secnnd Haast's Eagle, ".....so I flew myself at once and saw with my own eyes that it was true."

"What is true?" asked Stegosaurus. "What happened?"

"I have flown to China and back," said the second Haast's Eagle. "I have seen great devastation in the country of China and in nearby Tibet. There have been terrible mudslides."

"You are not trying to fool me, are you? Why would you leave New Zealand and fly to Tibet and / or China?" asked Stegosaurus

"I felt like taking a trip. I wanted to find out if what I had heard was true. Sometimes Haast's Eagles take vacations too. Haven't you taken a vacation?"

"Yes," said Stegosaurus. "I'm sorry. I'm too much of a skeptic around meat eaters. Who told you this information?"

"Apology accepted. I'm telling you no lie, you will need to reform your Disaster Relief Agency at once. I heard the news from a Londonderry bird who was passing by. I thought he would be bringing me a cheery word, they usually do, but this was not the case."

"We just came from Venezuela, but yes, I agree, we'll need to be involved in the rescue efforts in Tibet and China; My cousin Wuerhosaurus is in Tibet, along with my French cousin Lexovissaurus and his wife Loricatosaurus; and I have so many cousins in China that they can't be counted mostly because I can't count much above five, but also because I have so many cousins from China. My species originated in that land," said Stegosaurus.

"I will reform them at once; would you like to come help us?"

"Honestly, no, Stegosaurus. "It isn't that I don't care," rejoined Haast's Eagle.

"I sincerely feel that at the present time there is little I can do to help. My great size will alarm everyone, up to and including adult mammals."

"I used to feel that way, and then the meteor happened, and things changed for the worse. I decided to make the most of every day we are not fossils, and with my friends we get out to help mammals in need, where ever that need is."

"I appreciate you, Stegosaurus," said the Haast's Eagle.

"Thank you for understanding my concerns; and as I 've observed your kind so often in America mammals do not consider omens or signs as easily. When in times of trouble you are helping others but also helping yourself. Keep up the good work, and thank you anyway for inviting me to join your Agency. I am grateful for all the things that you and your species have done for the whole world."

"Thank you for your help, Haast's Eagle. May you live long and prosper."

"Thank you," said the second Haast's Eagle, and then they both took to flight and were soon out of sight.

Stegosaurus then returned to the area where the Moas were grazing.

"Hail, good Moa Bird! I am glad we did not eat my second raft; we'll have to share a raft in order to be as effective. " said Stegosaurus.

"We must stomp and float forthrightly at once to help my cousins!"

"What has happened in China?" asked Moa Bird.

"Mudslides! I hate to ask you to come out, so recently after our last trip, but I could really use your help!"

"This will be no problem," said Moa Bird. "Try and relax we shall leave together shortly and all will arrive in China and Tibet ready to help again, as we always have in the past. Be of good cheer; good things are bound to happen soon."

"Your words are such an inspiration," said Stegosaurus.

Stegosaurus spent the rest of the afternoon and into the evening trying to contact the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency as best as he could, and then he and the Moa Birds left New Zealand headed for China to see what good they could do for the mammals there, as well as for the welfare of three of his relatives whose present condition he did not know of at the moment and he hoped everything would be okay with his friends and others in his family tree."

On August 29th, The Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency arrived in Venezuela to assist the mammals there in recovery from earthquakes they experienced on June 24th.

Where the first earthquake occured was where the Agency arrived first. The quake was in Veroes Municipality, west of San Felipe, the capital city of Yaracuy. The foreshock measured 7.2 on the Richter Scale. The main shock measured 7.5, and was located off the coast of Vargas, ( now called La Graiua ) just west of Catia LaMar, the port city in which we arrived.

Of course, Shunosaurus followed me from China, so he was there, and we were also quickly joined by other sauropods, such as Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Nigersaurus, and Diplodocus, Shunosaurus was delighted to see so many sauropods there working together for the benefit of the mammals and he immediately felt right at home among them, setting to work right away, helping Diplodocus remove very large sections of wall which had been reduced to rubble.

Trachodon and Agathaumas arrived as they usually do, silently, and set to work without a word, not wanting to draw attention to themselves, as is their custom. Agathaumas and Trachodon worked together to construct a water filtration system to ensure the mammals had access to clean water. Trachodon, being a frequent water dweller, particularly believed ( and rightly so ) that clean water helped prevent premature extinctions and diseases which were prone to afflict mammals who had experienced such tragic circumstances as these earthquakes.

We were also joined by Rhedosaurus and his lovely wife Lady Rhedosaurus; it was Lady Rhedosaurus' idea to have her husband help her to build a lighthouse in the port city, as this would effectively distract Rhedosaurus from eating policemen and other Venezuelan authority figures.

“I know you've declared that lighthouses don't do much for you any more,” said she. “I am genuinely flattered that you are much more interested in me, but you see, just this once I'd like you to help me help the mammals here by building them a lighthouse which will help their goods and ships arriving at port safely during major storms. I know you've also destroyed them as effectively as any earthquake could; but please, just this once, help me do something nice for the mammals instead of eathing their authority figures, which is not beneficial in times of crisis; it is actually making things worse, so, please help me help the mammals.”

“All right, my beloved,” said Rhedosaurus. “I shall temper my appetite for policemen of all Nations. Today. Just for you.”

Western Black Rhino and Woolly Rhino were shocked to discover the number of mammals who had become extinct as a result of the earthquake. "6,500, and many more millions missing!" said Western Black Rhino. "The Mammals here have not experienced an earthquake this bad since 29th October of the year 1900, in San Narciso ! I really feel for them, as I know how I felt when I initially became extinct in 2013. I will help the sauropods clear this area of rubble; 80% of the mammal dwellings here have been destroyed, and it is a similar situation in their capital city of Caracas."

I know one thing I could do, it would be a great sacrifice, but I must help the mammals, as I too, feel distraught by actually seeing the amount of total devistation here. I will take a shearing and the mammals can use my fur to make blankets to keep them warm if they are out in the cold without a home in the winter months, which will be here soon."

"That is very generous of you," said Western Black Rhino. "Had I any hair I would gladly follow your example and do the same."

As Woolly Rhino departed in search of someone who was a shearer and would help him implement his plan. "I wish you good fortune as you help the sauropods clear the area of rubble," said Woolly Rhino.

Woolly Rhino then spoke up, and got the attention of Brachiosaurs and Nigersaurus who stopped clearing rubble when they realized someone was calling upon them. Nigersaurus was still happily singing sea shanties, as he had been now for over a year. "Hail, Nigersaurus! I have come to help you clear rubble."

"Hello, there, Western Black Rhino! Yes, please come help us!" said Nigersaurus. "Would you like me to teach you a few verses of The Leaving of Liverpool? We can sing as we work!"

"Thank you, but I shall leave the singing to you," said Western Black Rhino.

"Very well!" rejoined Nigersaurus. "Where is Woolly Rhino? Is he here with us?"

"Yes, he is," said Western Black Rhino. "He has gone to find someone to give him a shearing so that wool blankets can be made to keep mammals warm."

"That is a great idea!" said Nigersaurus, who then promptly resumed singing.

Stegosaurus and the Moa Birds had gone to Grenada and Brazil to bring back food that the mammals could eat. Stegosaurus planned to set up a soup kitchen in Catia La Mar. All of these foods were recipes that the Venezuelan people would know and enjoy. Stegosaurus stopped by the workshop of Stegosaurus Claus, and Stegosaurus Claus took some time out of his busy toy making schedule to donate a crate full of tree shaped Gingerbread cookies, as well as Christmas trees.

Stegosaurus and 6 Upland Moas had hitched themselves to carts so that they could transport the food and a few essential items from Grenada and Brazil to Venezuela.

"What to you say to a visit to New Zealand once we finish cleaning up Venezuela ?? We always enjoy your visits to watch us graze in our bucolic mountain setting."

"That sounds like a lovely idea," said Stegosaurus. "I agree it is time for a visit to New Zealand; I will stomp there forthrightly as soon as we have helped all the mammals we can help here."

Up ahead, Stegosaurus noticed Apatosaurus and Shunosaurus knocking down trees and building bridges out of them.

"Hello, there, Apatosaurus, Shunosaurus! Can we cross soon? The Moa Birds and I are bringing food to the Venezuelan mammals that has come from Brazil and Grenada."

"You can very shortly," said Apatosaurus. "The earthquake took out this bridge and Shunosaurus and I have felled some trees to create a temporary bridge so that mammals and dinosaurs alike may pass safely."

"I was helping Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus clear rubble a few miles away, but Apatosaurus needed someone with a cool, spiky tail to fell these trees, and you and the Moa Birds had already left for Grenada."

"Understood, Shumosaurus. You have done well, " said Stegosaurus.

"The food that the Moas and I are bringing from Grenada and Brazil is going to be part of a soup kitchen I want to run to help feed the mammals."

"A brilliant idea, Stegosaurus. I am, as always, glad to be a part of this," said Apatosaurus.

"What kind of foods did you bring the mammals to eat?" asked Apatosaurus.

"I would have to confess only vegetables, as vegetables are what I know and also it is true that they can be transported easier than things like meat, which needs to be kept cold for proper storage and transport."

"Very wise." said Shunosaurus.

"Here is the menu," said Stegosaurus.

"First, vegetarian Arepas. These can be filled with black beans, avocado, cilantro, or mushrooms.

Second, Catchapas, corn based pancakes, in this case, without cheese, but we do have butter on hand.

Pabellon Criollo, made with Jackfruit.

Hallacas filled with vegetable stew.

Finally we will have a vegetarian dish that pairs with many vegetarian options, Guasacaca."

"I am sure they'll be pleased that the menu reflects their cultural tastes," said Moa Bird.

"It is fortunate that we had the resources to provide such a meal. In situations like this, it is not always possible," said Stegosaurus.

"I hope we have enough to feed everyone."

Moa Bird observed the hungry Venezuelans arriving.

"Here they come!" he said. "The hungry mammals are arriving!"

The mammals did arrive in such great numbers, that Stegosaurus had to send the Moa Birds, as well as Trachodon and Agathaumas into Grenada to see if they could procure more food. Thus, many Venezuelans were fed and cared for in these difficult times by the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency, When the food was all gone, Rhedosaurus, Lady Rhedosaurus, Nigersaurus and Shunosaurus made sure that the mammals had access to resources that would be able to assist them when the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency had returned home. These would be international aid organizations run by mammals to help mammals. The Venezuelan people were grateful for the aid they had recieved and invited Stegosaurus to return during less stressful, less busy times.

"They want me to visit their country after their cities are completely rebuilt, to experience their culture when their circumstances are much less dire," said Stegosaurus

"How kind of them," observed Brachiosaurus.

"It has been a pleasure to assist you as always," said Apatosaurus. "Thank you for getting us all together for such an important mission."

"When we help each other, we help ourselves," said Western Black Rhino. "Look at the sacrifice my friend Woolly Rhino has made! Right now, he is not very woolly!"

"Ah, but this is temporary," said Woolly Rhino "It is a small price to pay, as my wool will soon return and grow fast."

"The Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency also helped me when I was initially extinct, and dealing with the depression I experienced for a while after becoming extinct. This is a valuable service to mammal, megafauna and dinosaur alike," said Western Black Rhino.

Stegosaurus was too humble to take any credit for what had been done, but he admitted the work was hard and he was looking forward to a nice bird watching vacation in New Zealand. He left Venezuela with the Moa Birds on September 26th, after assuring the Venezuelans that he would be delighted tocome visit them in happier, less stressful times.

"I am inspired by your resilience I will leave you with this promise: I will most assuredly and will visit you again very soon! Thank you for the invitation!"

On July 24th, Stegosaurus decided to buld a raft and float forthrightly to Tibet and China in order to visit his cousin Wuerhosaurus. On August 3rd he arrived, and Wuerhosaurus expressed his happiness overtly, which was uncharacteristic for him, especially since Stegosaurus planned his visit as a surprise.

“Well met, cousin Stegosaurus! What brings you to my humble abode in the upper reaches of Tibet? I pray your journey here was peaceful and uneventful.”

“It was,” said Stegosaurus. “I thought to come for a visit to relax and spend time with you before the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency travels to Venezuela in September.”

“You are always welcome,” said Wuerhosaurus. “ I have recently harvested some bamboo shoots; let us dine on them, and then we shall meditate for some time. Afterward, we can take a nice tour of the Szechuan province in China. It is there that many of our friends were discovered and classified.”

“Very well,” said Stegosaurus. “I think I am staying long enough to eat my raft. Do you think bamboo shoots go with raft?”

“I have not tried it, but I'm game for an experiment,” said Wuerhosaurus.

“The raft is made from trees of my native State. It is made of Colorado Blue Spruce,” said Stegosaurus.

After trying the combination, Wuerhosaurus said, “This is just fine. I find bamboo and your Colorado Blue Spruce pleasing to the palette; it is a nice culinary merger of East and West.”

After dinner the two cousins entered a meditative state, and remained so until August 15th

Thus fortified both with food for the body and food for the soul, on August 15th Stegosaurus and Wuerhosaurus stomped off forthrightly for the Szechuan province in China, specifically that region of the land wherein many dinosaurs have been discovered. The cousins continued to stomp forthrightly to the upper mountain reaches of the Szechuan province; there they knew they'd find conifers and ferns, along with roots, which are familiar to the ancient diet of the Stegosaurus species.

After some time, they had eaten their fill of their traditional diet, they returned to the lowlands, in search of salt licks. They knew they could find salt deposits in abundance along the Fuxi River. Once there, they noticed a sauropod in the river that they hadn't met before.

“Look at that sauropod,” said Stegosaurus. “He has a club and spikes upon his tail. We must make his acquaintance.”

“Let us go, and meet him at the shore,” said Wuerhosaurus.

The sauropod saw the two Stegosaurids approaching and lumbered through the waters until he reached the shore, where they were standing and waiting by the time he got there.

“Hi,” said he; “My name is Shunosaurus. What are your names?”

“We are two of the Stegosaurus species, Stegosaurus Stenops, and myself, Wuerhosaurus homheni,” said Wuerhosaurus. “We visit your land to dine upon conifers and avail ourselves, if we may, of the salt here.”

“You may have the salt; I do not own it. The mammals mine it for themselves, but there is plenty for all,” said Shunosaurus.

“Thank you,” said Wuerhosaurus.

“Much obliged,” said Stegosaurus. “If you would, please tell us about your interesting tail.”

“I will tell you both all about myself,” said Shunosaurus. “I was discovered by paleontology students in 1977, right in the Szechuan province where I live now. My name is derived from Shu, a name the mammals used for the province now known as Szechuan. I was classified by Professor Dong Zhiming in 1983. I am between 161 and 157 million years old, and am one of the most anatomically complete sauropods ever discovered, though I am not as well known as Apatosaurus or Diplodocus. In 2013, my most complete fossil was found, and the very tip of my tail, just beyond my distinctive spiked club.”

“We have observed your tail,” said Stegosaurus. “My cousin Wuerhosaurus and I would like to compare cool, spiky tails with you. We like the novelty about your tail that it is spiked like ours is, but also clubbed, like our friend Ankylosaurus' tail is.”

“We certainly can compare tails,” said Shunosaurus. “Let us leave the Fuksi River entirely behind, and in the uplands we can have a proper display and competition.”

“I am all for a friendly competition,” said Wuerhosaurus.

“As am I,” said Stegosaurus. “Let us go.”

Shunosaurus and the two Stegosaurids left the Fuksi River and the general lowland area for the higher elevations that Wuerhosaurus and Stegosaurus had just come from.

Stegosaurus, being college educated, recognized the trees before him. “Aha!” said Stegosaurus, “Here is a grove of the Brousinettia Papifiera, The tapa cloth tree, known as such because mammals of the Asian Pacific use it to make clothing.”

“This is a 66 foot tree,” observed Wuerhosaurus.

“Yes, about 20 meters,” said Shunosaurus. “The object of our contest, if you don't mind my setting the rules, is to fell 6 trees of this grove each. Whosoever may accomplish this first, wins.”

“Very well. Let us begin,” said Stegosaurus.

“Your terms are acceptable,” said Wuerhosaurus. “But let me ask, are we all three, only allowed to use our cool spiky tails to tell the trees?”

“Yes,” said Shunosaurus.

“Very well. Let us begin,” said Wuerhosaurus.

In relative short order, it became very loud in the forest, as Stegosaurus felled 8 trees, Wuerhosaurus 6, and Shunosaurus 10. Shunosuarus was the first to reach 6 trees, so he won the contest.

It was found that, like Diplodocus, Shunosaurus could break the sound barrier with his tail.

“I am impressed, this place looks like a disaster zone,” said Stegosaurus to Shumosaurus. “Would you like to join the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency? I can tell you you'll feel right at home, as we have many sauropods that you may know working with us.”

“I would be honored to work with you,” said Shunosaurus, “....and to express my gratitude for your offer I will prove my skill by cleaning up this grove on my own.”

“We can help,” said Wuerhosaurus.

“Thank you, but I insist. Consider it my job application,” said Shunosaurus.

Stegosaurus and Wuerhosaurus remained in China through August 22nd.

On that day, a new raft was constructed by the Stegosaurids, and Wuerhosaurus returned to Tibet, while Stegosaurus and Shunosaurus continued on to Venezuela, contacting the members of the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency, who, hearing of the news that the Agency was activated, coordinated their arrival, and they proceeded to help the mammals of Venezuela.

Rare Malignant Cancer Diagnosed in a Dinosaur

Jurassic Killing: Fossil Evidence of a Pliosaur Devouring Another Pliosaur

New dinosaur related to T rex discovered on Isle of Wight

Some mammals think that 4th of July celebrations are too loud for their animal companions to bear. Speaking for a Stegosaurus, ( I would know as I am one,) we are very acclimated to loud sounds. My brother Allosaurus is very loud. Rumor has it that my friend Diplodocus can break the sound barrier with a quick swish of his mightly tail. Genrally speaking, the Jurassic Age is very loud. Despite my toleriance of loud ssound, on the 4th I nonetheless found myself indoors, safely within my cozy cave, engrossed in a book of poetry written by a mammal with the name of Todd French. His little tome of modern verse is titled Dragon Tales.

Most interesting of all of the works in this small volume was page 76, in which I found a reference to my role in the 1933 film King Kong. Some of you who have followed by adventures for some time will recall my recollections of that experience in the April 16th, 2007 blog post. I see there is much lamentation by the author over my extinction in that scene, and perhaps he will be glad to know that in spite of the way things appeared in that iconic film, I am still very much alive. My friend Bruce Cabot did not really shoot me; we were acting.

They don't give academy awards to Stegosaurids, but if they did, that would, of all my film scenes from 1920 to the present, be my academy award winning scene. So I hope Mr. French sees this blog post and feels better after hearing the truth of the situation. I think he really has a way with words. You know, poets have a certain way of looking at the world that other mammals lack; they can find the joy and beauty in what to others may seem to be the most mundane of situations, and they can help bring the light they see to the minds and eyes of others who read their words.

I really feel he should like to meet my cousin Kentrosaurus someday, as cousin Kentrosaurus, being a veteran of the little known Battle of Humboldt Museum is a veteran of World War II, and he is, as we know a great admirer of The Good Book, and the Word of God. They would have much in common.

"I was delighted to be given the opportunity to celebrate a milestone today, June 1st, 2026, my 140,000,020th birthday.I got a new bed so I can sleep in my cave in comfort; I also got a Razzleberry pie, a Lemon Meringue pie, and as is the tradition, a coconut layer cake. I see! Pepperidge Farm remembered! How good of them, they always remember."

"But that's not all! My friend Triceratops, he also remembered!"

"How nice of you to stomp all the way from Wyoming just to visit with me," said Stegosaurus.

"It was no trouble at all," assured Congresssaurus Tricratops. "You are such a loyal friend, and this is a milestone birthday for you, it isn't everyday a dinosaur turns 140,000,020! This must be observed in such manner as we have always done, according to tradition."

"For myself, when my friend had enjoyed the pies and cake, when our revels had ended, I relaxed my 140,000,020 year old bones by taking a nice, relaxing Febreeze bath. Nothing like a good Febreeze bath to make a dinosaur feel completely rejuvenated!" excliamed Stegosaurus. "I have had a special day and I hope anyone reading this has had a special day too!"
