Dino Sore
By Beth Beutler 		  
1     The dinosaur's soccer game was stopped yet again.
 
2     "Ow!" screamed Thomas the Triceratops. "You stepped on my toe!"
 
3     "You should have gotten out of the way!" bellowed Bryan Brontosaurus.
 
4     Thomas limped away. "He's always mean to me," he said to himself. "Wonder what he's so sore about?"
 
5     Bryan stomped off in the other direction. "He's always in my way. He's a whiner. He's a sore loser. He's always stopping the game, especially when his team is behind."
 
6     The referee blew the whistle. "All right, let's start again. Thomas, are you ready?"
 
7     "I don't think so," Thomas cried.
 
8     "Oh brother," Bryan thought.
