Alison's Alligator
a Tongue Twister Tale
by S. E. Schlosser
Alex alligator arrived at Alison Arthur's apple farm in April, when the apple trees were covered with blossoms.
"Whatever am I to do with an alligator?" Alison asked.Inside the box, Alex yawned. Alex stuck his legs through the holes at the bottom of the box and ambled into the house in search of dinner.
"Oh no you don't!" cried Alison. "You cannot live in the house. You are to stay in the stream behind the apple orchard." Alison put Alex in the small stream.
Then Alison put a strong fence around the stream so Alex did not try to eat Mrs. Chory's chickens. Alex liked the stream and his pen.
He especially liked the steaks Alison gave him every morning and evening. One day in August a red apple fell off a tree and rolled under the fence and into Alex's pen.
Alex sniffed it a bit and then took a bite.
