Dino Shrine

  This is our shrine to the Patron Saint of Babies! 

       Once long ago, Mount Boom Boom Pow erupted, leaving many baby raptors without parents to feed them. It is said that Old Mother Rexilena, while on her way to a bingo game, heard their cries and took pity upon them. Every morning, she would scale the tallest mountain in her territory, fetching eggs from the pterodactyls nest to feed the babies. Miraculously, she carried them down the mountain in her tiny arms,  without even breaking a single one.  She did this every day until the raptors grew to be nice and plump........ And on that day she ate every last one of them.
     Meat eaters built monuments to honor her cunning and magnificence.  Soon, the other dinosaurs, fearful of their babies meeting the same fate, left jewels and necklaces on the monuments, hoping to dissuade her from hearing their young one's cries, be they ever in peril.
