"Kentrosaurus and I enjoyed our visit to Oxford and the graduation of Lexovissaurus' wife Loricatosaurus. She has worked hard and deserves all of the emoluments that come her way," said Stegosaurus. "After returning Kentrosaurus to his native land, Nigeria, I floated forthrightly on my raft to the land of New Zealand, in order to commence my birdwatching vacation with the Moa Birds. They are really nice fellows to put up with my watching them all the time. New Zealand is also a very beautiful country. Having arrived there I stomped with haste to the Uplands, and before I came upon a single Moa, there I saw my good friend Western Black Rhino."

"What an unexpected surprise!" Stegosaurus exclaimed. "What brings you to New Zealand?"

"Friend Stegosaurus! I did not expect to see you just now, but I am overjoyed to find you here. The answer is simple. I am here on your recommendation. I had heard you tell of how wonderfully beautiful New Zealand is, and how amiable the Moa Birds, and I decided I had to see for myself just what you love about this land."

"I am happy to see you out and about," said Stegosaurus. "I know adjusting to being extinct has been hard for you."

"Yes, it was," said Western Black Rhino. It is. It has only been three years, after all. But I took the advice many gave me at my funeral and finally got out of Africa to see the rest of the world."

"I just came from Nigeria because I was returning Kentrosaurus to his native land. He and I visited cousin Wuerhosaurus in China and Tibet, and we went from there to England, where we were present when Lexovissaurus' wife Loricatosaurus graduated with her degree in Paleontology."

"Please send her my regards," said Western Black Rhino.

"Surely I will," promised Stegosaurus. "If I had known you were coming here, we could have floated forthrightly on the raft together."

"That would have been pleasant," rejoined Western Black Rhino. "I have been on vacation here for several weeks; you were still in China at the time I arrived. " Then, observing an Upland Moa climbing up over the hill, Western Black Rhino exclaimed, "Look, there arrives a Moa Bird now!"

"Hail, Moa! Well met, friend!" said Stegosaurus.

"AH!" exclaimed Moa. "You startled me! You both ....!!"

"Apologies at once," said Stegosaurus.

"And from me as well," said Western Black Rhino.

"Do you mind if we watch you today?" asked Stegosaurus.

"Not at all, just please be quiet. My friends and I like to graze in peace."

"Are you by yourself?" asked Western Black Rhino.

"At the present; but there are a few more of us coming anon ... be patient and quiet and we will let you watch us."

"So, Moa, how have things been since you returned from working with my Disaster Relief Agency?" asked Stegosaurus.
"Very fine, friend Stegosaurus," said Moa. "Thank you for asking. Life runs pretty slow and pleasant here in New Zealand. We're going to clear this hill up here til the evening, and then spend some time grazing in the canopy forest below. It is a pretty nice life. "

"I'm pretty pleased with my own, as I reflect on turning 140 million and 10 very soon," agreed Stegosaurus. "You remember my new friend Western Black Rhino, don't you?"
"Yes," said Moa, "Pleased to see you again, Western Black Rhino, I hope you have been doing well."
"Thank you," said Western Black Rhino, "Your land of New Zealand is very beautiful."

"Then, we were silent for a very long time," said Stegosaurus. "The other Moas arrived, and it was very relaxing for all of us. We were so taken with the scene that we all took to grazing. I am sure the scene was quite pastoral and bucolic. "

"Western Black Rhino and I spent a good three weeks in the lovely country of New Zealand," said Stegosaurus. "It was so nice to see him get out and about ... it was the first time I had seen him happy since his extinction. Adjustment to change is such a difficult thing. We also spent some time watching the Haast's Eagles, since we didn't want them to become envious or feel any less important. They are really quite beautiful, but I am very uncomfortable with the idea that they eat my friends from time to time."

"In early June we will return each to our own lands; after an extended trip to several places in the last few months it will be nice to return home to my native land of Colorado. I left my business ventures in the capable claws of my accountant Corythosaurus, but being a hands on entrepreneur, it is always good to be at the helm of your own ventures whenever possible."
