Albert the Dinosaur

 

By Nate Feldman

Albert was a strange dinosaur, or at least in his appearance he was.  The spikes on his back were a blazing orange, like giant flames leaping into the sky.  This was different from the bronze-colored spikes of his siblings.  But more unusual than that were his six legs.  

The other dinosaurs were never able to figure out how he was born in such a way.  Some blamed his mother for an improper diet.  Others felt a curse of some kind had been placed on his family.  These accusations brought great discomfort to them.

Albert tried his hardest to fit in with the other dinosaurs in his community.  He played in all of their games and activities and copied the way they spoke and ate.  But, it was never good enough.
