“Morning,” he said.

“Her name is Banty, Daddy,” said Nosy, “and I’ve brought her to see you and Mom for a very special reason, knowing how clever you both are.”

Aviatrix looked very pleased at this, Clawed very puzzled.

“And what is this very special reason?” asked Aviatrix.

“I want you to warn her,” said Nosy.

“Warn her? Against what?”

“T. rex.”

“What’s that?” asked Banty.

“Tyrannosaurus rex,” replied Aviatrix. “The fiercest of the carnivores.”

“Please, Nosy’s Mom—what is a carnivore?”

“A meat-eater. And stop calling me ‘Nosy’s Mom.’ My name is Aviatrix.”

“And mine’s Clawed,” said Clawed, “but you can go on calling me ‘sir’ if you like—I quite fancy it.”

“Hang on a minute,” said Nosy.

“We all are,” said Clawed, taking a fresh grip on the branch with his large talons.

“No, Daddy, I mean, let me tell you what’s worrying me. You can see that Banty’s parents have never told her about T. rex, though I don’t know why. Which means she’s in terrible danger if she ever comes across one.”

“She is vulnerable,” said Aviatrix.

“What’s that mean, Avy?” asked Clawed.

“Capable of being physically wounded or injured or, in Banty’s case, killed and eaten.”

Banty shuddered (and when an apatosaurus, even a small one, shudders, it’s quite a sight).
