Dinosaurs lived on the Earth over sixty million years ago. This was a long timebefore people existed. Dinosaurslived everywhere. Some were as small as chickens.Others were as big as ten elephants. Some dinosaurs even had wings andcould fly.

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

Dinosaurs alldied out suddenly. Nobody knows why. We know about the lives of dinosaurs from the skeletons, eggs and footprints they left behind.

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.
