How Old Are You? One day , some friends were talking. They were talking about how old they were. James said, " I am seven years old. My brother is older. He is twice as old as me, How old is my brother?" " That's easy, " said Ellen. " You are seven. He is twice as old as you. So, your brother is seven plus seven. He is fourteen years old. " Then Jane said, " I am eight. I have a baby sister. She is half my age. How old is my sister?" " That so easy! " yelled James. " She is half of eitht. So , your sister is four years old. " Chris was thinking hard. There was something on his mind. Then, he asked, " How old is a dinosaur?" " A diosaur?! " said the puzzled children.
" Yes. How old is a dinosaur?" said Chris again. The children thought really hard. " A dinosaur is old--- very old, " said Ellen. " A dinosaur is millions of years old. A dinosaur is old, old, old! " The children laughed. James said. " A dinosaur is older than all of us combined! "
