When Kid saw an alligator in a water hole

my water?” She asked.

“I can’t get any water from that water hole, there’s a mean ol’ alligator down there!”

“Now don’t you mind that ol’ alligator, Johnny.

He’s been there for years, and he’s never hurt no one.

Why, he’s probably as scared of you as you are of him!”

“Well, Grandma,” replied Johnny, “if he’s as scared of me as I am of him, then that water ain’t fit to drink!”
