Albert wandered into a hilly region, famous for being home to an especially large and fierce pack of dinosaurs. He knew this group did not look fondly upon his pack, be he thought he might be able to convince them that he was unique from the others.
While he was there, he encountered Bruce, a dinosaur with several highly unusual features. Like Albert, he had blazing orange spikes, except these ones were on his head, not his back. His nose was bright orange, his claws were a shiny yellow, and the tip of his tail was bright red.
"You don't look like the dinosaurs from these parts," Albert told Bruce.
"And you don't resemble the ones from your area either," Bruce responded looking at Albert's six legs.
"I'm not like the dinosaurs from my area," Albert conceded. "I'd like to find a new pack to be a part of."
"Well," Bruce answered, "dinosaurs here are well-known for not liking outsiders. Actually, they typically devour them if they can. Especially ones from your area."
"I was hoping that was just a stereotype or exaggeration," Albert responded despondently. "But, I can assure you I'm different from those other ones. I think people from the pack here would appreciate that."
"In this community, that doesn't matter. They see you as all the same," Bruce answered.
"Well, you're not devouring me," Albert pointed out.
"Yeah," Bruce answered. "As you noticed, I too am different from the dinosaurs in my community."
