A Dinosaur for my birthday? A boy tells his amazing story!
On April 18th, I was playing golf in Florida with my dad. We were on the sixth hole. I hit the ball into the bunker. That is when I found a bone. The next day, I went back to the same bunker. I spent the whole day digging up more bones. I gave the bones to my dog.
The following day I was golfing with my best friend Bob the Builder. I hit the ball in the same bunker again. That is when I saw something sticking out of the bunker. “What is that?” asked Bob the Builder. I said, “It is a bone and I gave my dog bones just like that yesterday. My dog liked the bones a lot. I think I should bring these bones to the museum and see what kind of bones that they are”.
A few weeks later, I found 20 more of the same bones. The museum called
me to tell me that the bones I found were dinosaur bones. I said, “I
can’t believe it! I gave my dog dinosaur bones to eat!”
Since I discovered the bones the museum director said that I could name my dinosaur. I named the dinosaur Gnathusbrontaldibrachiomegacarnispanaplostegosaurus. The name means “jaw thunder two armed big meat armored covered lizard”. My dinosaur lived in every period and we are not sure who he was related to. He was a meat eater and could kill every dinosaur and that is why he lived through all three periods. He was very strong and tough. He was also very ugly.
I was very lucky to have discovered the dinosaur bones especially since April 18th is my birthday. My birthday is even more special now.
