"After my final performance as Count Drosselmeyer in the Nutcracker at Radio City Music Hall, I met my college class in New York City, and as the Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency we assisted mammals still affected by Hurricane Sandy," said Stegosaurus.

"I was surprised to see Rhedosaurus and his wife Lady Rhedosaurus in town and welcomed their unexpected help," continued Stegosaurus. "Are you still assisting the mammals occupying Wall Street?"

"Yes, said Rhedosaurus. "We have a long term goal, and I've worked pretty hard to restore my reputation with the local police force. There was great success, until the day before yesterday when the policemen assaulted us without provocation and I ate six of them."

"I imagine that was a real setback," said Stegosaurus.

"It was, it was indeed. I don't really hold it against them; there's no sense in bearing a grudge. I wish I had been able to control my temper certainly, but hopefully when they see the good work I am doing with your Disaster Relief Agency, they'll forgive me for my natural tendencies," said Rhedosaurus.

"Good luck," said Stegosaurus. "It's hard to break an ingrained habit."

"Policemen sure are delicious," said Rhedosaurus.

"Following that exchange, The Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency, in conjunction with the Stegosaurus Construction Company and two Rhedosaurids in tow set off for the most distressed areas, and divided our time between Rockland and Westchester Counties. Gradually, things will return to normal, and it is a wonderful feeling to be part of such a positive effort, assisting those in need. Make sure to spend some time in your neighborhood, helping a cause that means something to you and benefits your fellow mammal. If you see a wrong, try to correct it by gathering like minded individuals united through voluntary association to solve the ills of your society. The beginning of the solution is only as far as your mirror. This may be the season of charity and giving, but you don't have to wait until December to express compassion, understanding and good will to each and all."
