राजी झाडा मुळांत निवांतपणान बसून पुस्तक वाचतालें आनीभजें खातालें. तेन्नाच थंय एक कावळो आयलो.

“ओ, काकमाम!”राजीन म्हणलें.

भज्याचो घांस मारूंक राजीन आपलें तोंड उकतें केलें.

इतल्यांत कावळो मुखार आयलो, भजें आपल्या तोंडांत धरलेंआनी उडून गेलो.

राजीन दुरिगा वयल्यान उडी मारली आनी रस्त्याचेर ताचेफाटल्यान धांवलें.

“भजें परत दी, ये मूर्ख, चोर खंयचो, नालायक!”राजी आड्डलें.

कावळो सवकास उडटालो.

ताचें शरीर मोटें आनी जड जातालें.

आनी ताचीं पांखां मात ल्हान-ल्हान जावपाक लागलीं.

“हांव तुका धरतलेंच!” राजीन म्हणलें.

सलीम सायकली वयल्यान रस्त्या वटेन आयलो.

उडून थकिल्लो कावळो मळबांतल्यान जमनीर कोसळ्ळो आनी सलीमआनी ताचे सायकलीचेर पडलो : ठप्प...

राजी धांवत तांचे कडेन आयलें.

सलीम आपले सायकली सयत जमनीर पडिल्लो. ताचे तकलेर नेटानपांखां हालोवपी एक विचित्र प्राणी आशिल्लो. तो खूब व्हड आनी शक्तीवान आशिल्लो.ताका दांत आशिल्ले. ताणें सलीमाक नेटान घांस मारलो.

कचायक..!

“आवयगे!” सलीमानकिळांच मारली. “तुजो कावळो म्हाका चाबता.”

“आरे, तो म्हजो कावळो न्हय,” राजीन सांगलें. “खरें म्हणल्यार तो कावळोच न्हय.”

तांणी त्या विचित्र कावळ्या कडेन पळयले.

“हय, सारकें तुजे. हो तर एक डायनासोर,” सलीम आड्डलो.

कावळो-डायनासोरान आपलीं पांखां फाफशिलीं आनी बाजारा वटेनपळ्ळो.

“आय सायबा, ताणें आनीक लोकांक घांसमारल्यार कितें जातले?” राजीन विचारलें.

“आमी ताका आडावपाक जाय,” सलीमान म्हणलें.

कावळो-डायनासोरान बाजारांत खवदळ घातलो, तो मोट्या मोट्याआड्डूंक लागलो, का... क्रा... आनी तो सगळ्यांक माड्डीत वचूंक लागलो.

फकत प्राध्यापक काकी अजापान पळयत उरली :

“आवयस, तो एक? म्हाकाभास जाता काय कितें?

हो एक जितो थिरॉपॉड आसूंक शकता?”

राजी आनी सलीमान प्राध्यापक काकीक उबी रावपाक मजत केली.

राजी आनी सलीमान काकीक विचारलें, “प्राध्यापक काकी, तुमी ताका पळयलें?”

तिणें म्हणलें, “सवणें-डायनासोर? हय, हांवें पळयलां.तुमकां हो विचित्र प्राणी खंय मेळ्ळो?” “हे विचित्र प्राणी आतां ना जाल्यात! जिवीतभरहांवें तांचो अभ्यास केलां आनी म्हाका फकत तांचे अवशेश मेळ्ळ्यात,” तिणें सांगलें.

हो भयानक कावळो बाजारा भायले वटेन गेलो.

राजी, सलीम आनी प्राध्यापक काकी ताचे फाटल्यान धांवलीं.

राजी आनीक नेटान धांवलें आनी ताचेर झोपय मारली.

“सांपडलो!” राजीनकावळो-डायनासोराक घट्ट धरलें.

सलीमान सकयल बसत म्हणलें, “आगो,हो तर आतां टी-रॅक्स जाता!”

“आरे, हय... हे... त्या हुश्श कुळांतलेआसात,” प्राध्यापक काकीन खर्शेत खर्शेत म्हणलें. “म्हणल्यार सवणीं आनी डायनासोर. ताची फाटले दिशेन उत्क्रांती जाता.”

तेन्नाच एक पाल आयली आनी डायनासोरान ताका धरली.

“शी... भुरसो, सैतान खंयचो!” राजीन विटून म्हणलें.

“हे तर म्हज्या भावाकूंच हांवें खाल्लेभशेन जाले,” सलीमान सांगलें.

“ना, ना, तशे न्हय ते,” प्राध्यापक काकीन म्हणलें. “सवणीं डायनासोरा पसूनउत्क्रांत जाल्यांत. मानग्यां कडेन तांचें लागींचें नातें आसा. पूण पाली वेगळ्यासरकटपी प्राणी कुळांतल्यो जातात.”

कावळो-डायनासोर आंग कवळून जमनीर बसलो आनी भिवून आवाजकरपाक लागलो : क्रा-क्रॉम्प...

“ताका उडपाक जमना म्हूण ताका दुख्खजालाशे दिसता,” सलीमान म्हणलें.

राजीन मायेन ताच्या तोंडार हात भोंवडायलो.

ती प्राध्यापक काकीच्या घरा गेलीं. मेजाचेर थाळी भरूनभजीं आशिल्लीं.

“अरे वा!” राजीनम्हणलें.

“क्रा...”डायनासोरान आवाज केलो. ताणें आपलें आंग प्राध्यापक काकी इतलें पसरलें, थाळीधरली आनी भजीं स्टीलच्या थाळये सयत गिळ्ळीं.

मागीर ताणें मोट्यान धेंकर काडलो आनी आपले मोटे दांतभायर काडत तो खुशालभरीत जावन हांसलो : क्रा...!

राजी आनी सलीमान एकामेकांक पळयले आनी म्हणलें, “काकसोरस रॅक्स!”

थिरॉपॉड्स ह्या डायनासोराच्या घराब्यांतल्या सवण्यांचीउत्क्रांत जाल्या. तांकां “जिते डायनासोर” अशें खूब फावटी म्हणटात. कांयवेगळेपणां सोडल्यार, सवणीं आनी डायनासोर खूब समान आसात:
