Pete and his pal Paul were gathering fruits and vegetables to take back to their caves. "Hey, did you hear something?" Pete asked. "Sounded like a growl. Sure hope it's not a Saber-toothed tiger."

It wasn't. It was actually a Pterodactyl, a menacing dinosaur with giant wings. But those beasts never existed during caveman times. Where was the creature taking poor Pete?

"This is your Captain speaking. If you look over to the left you can see the Rocky Mountains. And if you look over to the right you'll see... a Pterodactyl holding a caveman? How about we don't mention this to anyone and I'll provide free peanuts for everybody?" When the Captain looked outside again, the Pterodactyl was gone.

The Pterodactyl continued to soar through the sky before suddenly letting go of Pete. The young caveman began to fall from the sky his arms and legs flailing in desperation. He smashed through the roof of a building where he found himself being gawked at by several girls and boys.

"Ah, you must be our new foreign exchange student Trog." "My name is Pete actually." "Oh, my mistake. Why don't you tell the class about yourself Pete." "Well, I was out with my friend Paul when a Pterodactyl swooped down..." "Ha! Ha! Wonderful story! Now take a seat. Class is about to begin."

"Okay everybody, it's time for a pop quiz. I will show you 10 different dinosaurs and you have to identify all of them. Here's the first one." While the rest of the class looked around puzzled by the dinosaur pictures, Pete chiseled away his answers on a slab of rock.  Time's up! Please hand your papers up the front."

PETE

"You all did pretty well but only one student got a perfect store. Congratulations Pete! Oh, and next time feel free to use a pen and paper to submit your answers. How about a round of applause for our new student?" Most of the class clapped for Pete except for a couple of students who resented the strange new kid.

During their lunch break, some of the female students began to take an interest in Pete. He was so mysterious and not like the other boys. "If you're not doing anything after school Pete, maybe you can help us with our Science homework?" the girls all giggled.

"I don't like him dude. I don't like him one bit. We're supposed to be the coolest kids in school. Now some weirdo with a furry suit and bare feet is suddenly Mr. Wonderful." "What are we gonna do about him Joel?" "I say we teach this kid a lesson he'll never forget."

After lunch it was time for gym. Today the class was going to play baseball. "Look at this guy. He doesn't even know what direction to face. What a clown! I'm going to strike him out and make him cry." Joel wound up and unleashed a blazing fastball right down the middle of the plate.
