HOW A DINOSAUR WAS BURIED IN 

 THE ROCK 



In the days when the Dinosaurs were at the height 

 of their power, a Brontosaurus, as he pulled himself 

 from out the water to lie down on the shore for 

 a rest, was attacked by a hungry Allosaurus. The 

 agile flesh eater sprang on the back of the clumsy 

 Brontosaurus and instantly the two were engaged 

 in a terrific battle. For a while they fought on the 

 soft ground at the edge of the lake, and then both 

 fell into the water, where they continued their 

 struggle with renewed ferocity. 



They fought long and hard, thrashing the water 

 with mighty strokes and uttering fearful sounds, 

 until, at last, Brontosaurus began to grow weak, be- 

 came quiet for a moment, then sank beneath the 

 waves. The victorious Allosaurus soon left the 

 scene of the conflict, swimming away with an ease 

 that showed he had suffered little injury in the 

 fierce encounter through which he had just passed.
