T-Rex Story Plan:
This story will be based on the Patient Buffalo Jataka. In this story a giant buffalo lived underneath a tree in a pond. A monkey often came by to annoy him. When asked by a fairy why he does not simply just kill the monkey he responds by saying that the monkey was not gifted with much intelligence. A fairy then gives the buffalo a charm so that no body could cause him to suffer.
In my rendition I plan on replacing the buffalo with a T-rex, and the monkey will be portrayed by a raptor. The story will be set in Cretaceous period. At the moment I am thinking of incorporating the mass extinction event of dinosaurs in this story. The fairy will be some god-like deity.
