LITERARY Battle of the Tyrants (Continued) like lungs, that once breathed so freely of the air, could now not find any of this substance that was so precious. Then with a great tremble the Allosaurus bent to death. The sky above was lit afire as the last rays of the sun splashed over the sky and fell on the clouds. Tyrannosaurus, lord of the world, king of tyrants, deadliest of all the carnivor¬ ous dinosaurs, bellowed aloud at his triumph. Eddie Schey, 7-16.

LITERARY My First Plane Ride (Continued ) Five minutes afte-r v. r e are air-borne, I disentangle my fingernails from the up¬ holstery and release the safety belt, which I had drawn so tight that it stopped my breathing. The door of the pilot ' s cabin opens and the pilot himself comes out. What sort of recklessness is this? He has left .some half-fledged boy at the wheel. I watch with horror as he strolls down the aisle, chatting with the passengers. I .know what he ' s doing. Both wings have fallen off, but he ' s saying that everything is all right. When my turn comes, the pilot says r Good morning! Are you having a pleasant trip? I merely nod, speechless. All I want him to do is to get back to his work and remove that mad office boy from the controls. I relax again when he slams the door of the cabin behind him. An hour goes by. I had a bad moment when the hostess leaned over and said some¬ thing which I was unable to hear. -It sounded like We are falling into the sea. I was halfway out of my seat, when I realized she was asking me if I would like some tea. Suddenly we are losing altitude.’ I look down and the earth is carpeted with railway lines, red brick houses, factory chimneys and telegraph poles. This is it. The percussion valve in the port cylinder has blown out. This is the emergency landing. I sink the old nails back into the upholstery and close ray eyes. There is a bump, a faint screech - we have gone through a cow? Then all is silent. We are alive, but where? I open my eyes. We are on the apron outside the terminal building. They are pushing a ladder up to the plane, I leave the plane with, a slight swagger. I am safe, in Northolt airport and less than an hour ago I was in Dublin. What L say, is that airplanes provide - the fastest, safest and most convenient means of travel in the world, but if you saw me you would never know it! Bobby We strop, 8-11 BATTLE OF THE TYRANTS So many years ago that it would make one weary counting them, the dinosaur lived. These were the landlords of the Earth, their Herculean bodies, bounced from behind a large clump of horsetails, and a fierce, monstrous creature would’pounce on an un¬ suspecting plant eater. Then you would hear the Tyrannosaurus; lord of the world, king of tyrants, deadliest of all the carnivorous dinosaurs bellowing aloud at his triumph. At this, the ponderous slow moving Brontosaurus would laboriously make his way into the sloughs and swamps that were his home and his very existence. His cousins, Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus, not so heavy as Brontosaurus but both depending on the swamps, would also make their ’way to them. All of the creatures from,the simple minded, small Mimus to the ponderous Brontosaurus, hid or took refuge in the swamps or hid behind the horse¬ tail clumps. For who would face the hideous death that awaited him ' when he faced the Tyrannosaurus. Only one spirited dinosaur from a dying race of 70 million years dared to face the fearful monster. The fight was on, but where was Tyrannosaurus? Had he finally met his match? Mo, he was hiding behind some of the.horsetails that had been used for this same kind of treachery so many times. Allosaurus screamed his challenge into the air, but still no Tyrannosaurus. Then, with a scream, a hideous blood curdling scream, the Tyrannosaurus leaped from behind his camouflage and landed on the Allosaurus with a thud. The All¬ osaurus, greatly surprised, found himself being swung from side to side; then he felt teeth biting deeper and deeper into his neck. He became short of breath and his bellow -
