Lila cast a lazy eye over the T Rex. It was a very big dinosaur, but it was also

very young. “No, you’re not,” she said.

“Yes, I am too!” it bellowed. “I’m bigger than all my brothers and sisters! I’m

the King of the T Rexes.”
“So?” said Lila.

“Rex means King! So I’m King twice over. King King, that’s me! Now prepare

to be gobbled up, you measly mouthful!”

King King opened his great mouth wide, ready to snap Lila up. But Lila did not

move.
“Don’t bother eating me,” she said. “Measly mouthful is right. I’m small and

tough and stringy. What’s more, I’m not afraid. I’ve seen bigger killers than you.”

“What? Who? Where?” yelped King King in alarm. He whirled around.

But he could not spot another dinosaur anywhere. Thumping his tail in anger,

King King roared, “You’re lying! Stringy or not, I’m going to eat you up!”
Lila pointed at the lake. “Before you do, just look over there,” she said.

King King gazed across the lake. His eyes widened.

On the opposite shore was a very fearsome dinosaur indeed. Its huge head was

crammed with at least a hundred long, sharp teeth.
