A kinder gentler t rex

 


Back At Work.

As he walked down the corridor of "The Personal Integration and Wellness Center," with his white coat on, Grrr thought about the cases that he would see today.

Most of them, were not too interesting but there was one that he found inviting.

There was a brontosaurus named Bernard who seemed to have problems eating leaves.
As Grrr walked into his office he saw Bernard waiting.

"Good morning young fellow". He said. "How can I help you this morning?"
 "I don't know Dr."said Bernard.  "I was just thinking, you know, what what if the leaves.. I mean what if the leaves are polluted?
How would we know? I haven't been able to eat for days !
I don't know what to do.  The air ... what about the volcano.. What about global warming and the new Ice Age?
My professor at Dino College said that we should be aware and listed all the things in the going wrong.
I don't know what to do!"

"Humm."..said Grrr. "Is there anything else my boy?"
"Well Dr.", said Bernard "Every time I look at TV it appears that there's one crisis after another:
 the economy is bad the weather is changing satellites may fall from the sky is very frightening."
Humm. Is there anything else?
"Well," said Bernard. "I don't know if life is worth living. Sometimes I'm so confused."
Rising from behind his desk, Grrr said. "Come with me."
A few minutes later Grrr and his  nervous patient were in a clearing in the jungle in front of the wellness center.
 Advancing to his full to T-Rex  height and smiling with a mouthful of six-inch serrated fangs, Grrr said to Bernard "If I catch you before you get to the other side of the clearing you are lunch.
 I will give you 10 seconds head start."



Bernard looked at Grrr as if he were kidding, but one roar and Bernard was fleeing  across the clearing. Grrr walked up to Bernard, as  he, Bernard was trying to climb a tree not an easy thing for a bronto to do.

"Well, my boy ".said Grrr. "Still think that you have nothing to live for?"
"No  omg  no!!.  said Bernard "Please don't eat me".
"Why not?" said Grrr. " You said you had nothing to live for."
"Because I want to stay alive, I  here are many things I want to do".

"Do you still feel that life has no meaning?" Asked Grrr
"Why... why no".  said Bernard. .."Does that mean I am cured Dr.?"
 "Yes. Go out and enjoy life my son and pay no attention to those silly beings that make a living selling fear."
