Why Alligators Eat Meat (A Folktale)

Once alligators didn't eat meat. They ate plants.
But, that all changed when one day a lizard walked by and teased the gators and thought it was funny.

The gators stared at the lizard angrily. The lizard took a little giggle.

One gator said, "We've never eaten meat before. Why don't we eat it now?"

One gator guarded the lizard while the others got ready for the big chase. When they all were ready, they ran after the lizard. The lizard ran for his life as fast as he could on his little four legs.
The lizard had a plan. When he saw a big boulder, he stood in front of the boulder and whistled and said, "Hey, guys! Over here! Come chase me!"

The gators ran at the lizard and all of them bumped their heads. The lizard ran and went into the jungle.

He set up a trap made of rope for the gators. The gators ran and when one of them was standing on the trap, the lizard pulled the rope and the gator got trapped.

The lizard hid himself and he was nowhere to be seen.

A gator said, "Oh, well! It looks like we won't be getting any lunch today. Let's go eat plants."

From that day forward, alligators intend to eat meat.

The End.

The Famous Rhino

Once there was a rhino who became famous. He had restaurants named after him. He even had a dinosaur named after him! He was the most famous rhino that ever lived. Once his brother, Jack, visited him, and there was trouble.

He started making him spend money for him.

He did it until every last cent of that rhino was spent.

The famous rhino became very furious and said to his brother, "How dare you, I mean you can't just try to make my money disappear. Now I have to get a job."

"It can't be all that bad", explained Jack.

"Oh, it is that bad", replied rhino. "Do you know what working can do to you?"

"Working can't do anything to you", said Jack.

"Oh, fine. I'll get a job then." said rhino.

He got a job to be a fry cook. Day after day he continued working until finally he got his check. And he started getting fame again.

But, then his brother, Jack, did the same thing.

"That's it. I can't take it anymore. I can't continue working", said rhino.

"Oh, calm down. Everything's going to be OK. Just get another job." replied Jack.

"Oh, you dummy. Do you think money grows on trees?" said rhino furiously.

Rhino picked up Jack by his neck and hanged him against the wall. "If you're going to make me work again, I'm going to make you work." said rhino.

So they started trying to find a job for Jack.
"Looks like you're going to have to be a waiter," said rhino.

"Oh, no", said Jack. "I'm certainly not going to touch other people's plates after they've put their mouths on it."

"Well, then. What do you want to be?"

"I want to be an actor."

Rhino looked puzzled. "Do you think they'll even pay you?" asked rhino.

"Of course", answered Jack. "Directors always pay actors after they've been in some kind of movie or commercial."

So, Jack turned into an actor. And rhino got all his money back.

The End.
