Many dinosaurs were harmless.They were as gentle as sheep and ate plants.Otherswere harmful.They were fiercer than tigers and ate meat.

All heowned was a big jar that he lived in, a coat, a bag and a cup. He was very happy.One day, Diogenes saw a boy drinking water from his hands by a fountain, so he threw away his cup and became even happier.
