"Have you seen Wuerhosaurus, Sister Quagga?" asked Kentrosaurus.

"Why yes, he is getting ready to board his slow boat back to China. You had best hurry if you want to bid him fare well."

"I am glad I spoke to you about this; I indeed have an important message to share with him."

"Let us go together," suggested Quagga. "I want to say goodbye to him too. What is the message that you want to share?"

"Since you are coming along you are welcome to hear it," said Kentrosaurus. "Follow me."

"Hail, Wuerhosaurus!" said she, observing Wuerhosaurus on the shore.

"Sister Quagga! Kentrosaurus!" declared Wuerhosaurus. "How nice of you to come; you caught me just before I am to board my slow boat back home to China."

"I am so glad I made it in time I have a message I want to impart to you, and Quagga has come to hear it also," said Kentrosaurus.

"What would it be? A blessing for a safe seafaring journey? We Stegosaurids are not really seafaring animals and long for the days of a single continuous land mass to return," said Wuerhosaurus.

"Of course I wish you well, in the name of the Almighty and his Son Jesus Christ, but this wasn't my reason for stomping down to shore forthrightly. I wanted to ask you if you'd accept my testimony to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and if you realize, if you know, that everything in the Holy Bible is true and accurate; there is no God but One and his Son in the Holy Trinity including the Holy Spirit, Amen! And that, whatever difficulties God may place before you be most assured that The Lord your God loves you and wants no dissension with mammals or their science."

"Well, that is good," interjected Sister Quagga, suddenly realizing what she had gotten herself into and wondering how she could politely extricate herself from the conversation without offending Kentrosaurus.

"Amen!" said Kentrosaurus. "Amen, Sister Quagga, Amen!"
"Then, good cousin Wuerhosaurus, are you aware that the Lord Jesus Christ put my bones in the Earth to test my faith? Did you know he put your bones in the Earth to test your faith? By the grace of Jesus Christ alone I survived the little known WWII battle of Homboldt Museum, along with Sister Quagga and Spinosaurus."

"You have a good heart, cousin Kentrosaurus. I know you mean well, and that you care about me. I am from mainland China and a great majority of mammals and dinosaurs who live there are Buddhist."

"Peace be unto you," said Quagga helpfully.

"I know Kentrosaurus that you have gained a lot from your belief in Creationism, and you follow your path to the best of your ability. Each of us has our own road to stomp down, and for Sister Quagga to gallop down. I do not wish to disturb your inner peace. I am content on the road I travel as a Buddhist and glad that as cousins our paths intersect on occasion, I appreciate the hospitality of you, of Quagga and of Wooly Mammoth. I have had a nice vacation of several months now. but I must go home to China. Be assured that in my time here I have heard many an opportunity for your testimony and the sermons of Wooly Mammoth. I respect your opinion but I must go now."

"Wooly Mammoth has given you an honest job and changed your life," said Sister Quagga. "Ever since you embraced Creationism you have tried on all my saddles, which I do not mind. Yet we implore most politely to first of all, know that we are aware of your convictions and concern for us, yet we must find our own ways to the source of Creation."

"If you hear my testimony you will believe, " declared Kentrosaurus. "I shall tell you a tale of the Glory of the Holy Trinity, The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit! For, as it is written in the book of Romans 8:1 & 8:2: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who believe in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit in the life of Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death."

Verily I say onto you if you believe you will be saved. For else the Lord has allowed sin, except through faith in his Holy SON. This is such a true analogy to life of the flesh and of the scale. The Lord will test you he will put your bones in the earth, but as you believe so shall you be saved and free from the fire and damnation of sin."

Wuerhosaurus stepped into his slow boat. "Cousin Kentrosaurus, blessings be on you as you mean well, I shall consider your good intentions as well meant. Now I must follow my path back home to China."

"Indeed, I too, must take my leave of you Kentrosaurus, for the African plains need trimming, I think," said Sister Quagga.

"I would be pleased if you both would visit me someday in China," said Wuerhosaurus.

"Very well," said Kentrosaurus, still intent on his testimony. "I will pray for you both. Perhaps I can give a sermon to Nigersaurus. I can find him; he's a sauropod. They're never hard to find."

Aside to Wuerhosaurus Sister Quagga said as Kentrosaurus stomped out of hearing range, "Kentrosaurus means well, bless him, I hope Nigersaurus has the patience of Job."

"Indeed, Quagga," said Wuerhosaurus. "Indeed."
