Dinosaur Bones

It was early in the morning and still dark outside. A garbage truck drove along West Street. Suddenly bolts of electricity lit up the sky. Za-wap! Za-wap! A second later the sky was dark again. “ That was strange, ” said one garbageman. “ Yeah, ” said the other man.

“ I wonder what . . . Oh no! ” Roar! “ I’m so glad it’s Friday, " said Jack. “ No school tomorrow! ” Roxy and her friends were walking to school. Everyone was excited about the weekend. “ We should go to the park tomorrow, " said Terrell.

“ Great idea, " said Roxy. “ Let's ride our bikes there. ” “ I'll bring a Frisbee, ” said Jack. “ We can play Frisbee tag. ” Mara sighed. “ I wish I could go with you, " she said. “ But my parents made plans already.

They're taking me to the Metro City Natural History Museum. ” " I love that museum, " said Terrell. “ It has ancient fossils and cave paintings. And lots of dinosaur bones! ” “ Dinosaurs are awesome, " said Jack. “ My favorite is T. rex. ” Mara's eyes lit up. “ Hey! Why don't you all come with me?”

“ Really?" said Roxy. “ Sure, ” said Mara. “ My parents won't mind. " Roxy and her friends grinned. “ I can't wait! ” said Jack. “ Maybe we'll see a T. rex skeleton! " “ I wish we could see real live dinosaurs, " said Terrell. “ It’s too bad they're extinct. ”
