The Fossil Hunters
<p><br></p> <p>The Fossil Hunters</p> <p>Tim and Dean were great fossil hunters. They were the very best at finding dinosaur</p> <p>bones. Although Tim and Dean were quite similar, they were outright enemies. The two men</p> <p>got into vicious arguments all the time. They couldn't coexist peacefully because their egos</p> <p>were too large. Tim thought he was the best fossil hunter, while Dean was sure that he was</p> <p>much better than Tim.</p> <p>One day, Tim was searching for fossils on the periphery of the city when he discovered a</p> <p>huge bone. He had never seen anything like it! He took his shovel and carefully excavated</p> <p>the dirt around it. As he dug, he uncovered more jagged bones. He realized that he had</p> <p>found an entire dinosaur skeleton! Tim couldn't conceive a plan to remove the huge</p> <p>skeleton all by himself. Such an endeavor would be too arduous. He needed help. He</p> <p>tried to think of people who would be capable of helping him remove the skeleton without</p> <p>breaking it. The only person Tim could think of was Dean, his enemy.</p> <p>Tim ran into the city to find Dean. Tim found him and said, “Dean, I've found the skeletal</p> <p>remains of a huge terrestrial animal. But I can't get the skeleton out by myself. Will you</p> <p>please help me?</p> <p>Dean thought that Tim's claim might be dubious. He replied, "If you're serious about the</p> <p>skeleton, I'll help."</p> <p>Tim excitedly showed Dean the skeleton's locale. They worked together to carefully remove</p> <p>each bone. And to keep the bones together, they tied them with elastic strips. When they</p> <p>were finished, they had attained a perfect skeleton. They used plaster to make a mold of</p> <p>the dinosaur's skull. They engraved their initials into it and gave it to the curator of a local</p> <p>museum.</p> <p>Tim and Dean found out that they could work very well together.</p> <p>They decided to end their feud and become friends. By combining</p> <p>their talents, the men became even greater than they were before.</p>
