When Luke
was barely two years old, he developed an extraordinary(1)
awareness of dinosaurs. The
awareness was unusual not only for the ardent(2)
nature of his interest, but also because of the boy’s age.
It all
began in Luke’s preschool. His teachers
introduced the children to a set of dinosaur models, which Luke promptly scrutinized(3). On the drive home from school, he regaled(4) his mother with tales
of triceratops and tyrannosaurus and velociraptor. She decided to stop at the nearby bookstore
to procure(5) a few dinosaur
books he might enjoy. Enjoy? He simply devoured(6) them. As
his mother read to him, Luke pondered(7)
the miracle of creatures so different from those he knew.
It soon
became obvious that Luke’s love of dinosaurs would endure(8). Anything
with a dinosaur pattern elicited(9) from
Luke expressions of sheer(10)
glee, so nearly every gift from friends or family catered(11) to this taste.
Before long, representations of dinosaurs adorned(12) his bed sheets and pillowcases, his shower
curtain, his bath mat, and even the walls of his room.
When Luke’s
teachers completed the dinosaur unit and moved on to Native Americans, Luke’s
passion for the former(13)
did not abate(14). His parents arranged a trip to various zoos
and museums. They visited Denver’s
Museum of Natural History, whose dinosaur display enthralled(15) the future paleontologist.
