Growlzunger the Tyrannosaur was fascinated by the flight of insects. He spent many days mooning about, watching butterflies zipping from flower to flower, wishing he, too, could fly.
He decided it looked easy enough - the butterflies got by just by flapping their beautiful arms. So Growlzunger stood still, and waved his little nubbin arms vigorously.
Not much happened, other than a few odd looks from nearby dinos.
"Maybe I'm just not in shape enough," he thought. "The butterflies move their little armflappies so quickly!" So, he worked out! Every morning he would wake early, now tromping a little way away from the other dinosaurs to avoid those odd looks, and flap and flap and flap his little arms until he worked up quite a sweat. He would work out again in the afternoon, and then an hour before hunkering down to sleep at night. This went on for weeks, to no avail, but Growlz did not give up!
One day, during yet another workout, a butterfly alighted on Growlzunger's snout, being the highest perch for some miles around. (Butterflies don't much care if this sort of behavior bruises your ego - even if you are supposedly the monstrous predator king of the world, if you're tall, you're good for sittin' on.) Up this close, after holding back a squeal of delight so as not to terrify the tiny creature, Growlz got a really good look at the structure of the butterfly's body, and realized that the little thing's flight-arms were long, and wide, and flat. No wonder he was having trouble! Nubs are not very aero-dino-mic.
So Growlzunger went into the forest, and knocked down some long, wide, flat leaves from a very huge tree. After holding the leaves and tromping in circles after his own tail for some time, Growlz realized that, once again, his arms would not be up to the task at - well - at hand. "Hey, buddy, would you mind?" he asked a nearby fellow T-rex. "I need to put these on my back, and I can't do it on my own."
With a puzzled look and about an hour of fussing and grumping, the other dinosaur got the leaves fitted onto Growlzunger's back with a few sticks and some strong tree sap. Stepping back to admire his handiwork, the second T-rex began, "You know, friend, I don't think these will do what you thi-"
"THANKS FOR YOUR HELP BUT Iiiiiiiiiiiii GOTTA FLY," said Growlz, and ran toward a nearby cliff edge, his new "wings" flopping comically behind him.
There are several theories on why dinosaurs are extinct. In all honesty, it is probably mostly because of lack of adequate safety-test-runs.
Growlzunger and his butterfly inspiration would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves dinosaurs, butterflies, or anyone who tends to dream big. ... Perhaps sometimes a little -too- big...
