3. Describe the funny sight that Simon and Dudley saw on the beach.
Answers
Answer:
Now Simon and Dudley knew each other, but they weren't the best of friends! Dudley had two sisters, and they played together and took care of each other, and were very happy in the cool blue water.
But Simon swam alone, he had no brothers or sisters, and no one to play with, and that made him very grumpy. And so he spent his days swimming lazily, feeling sorry for himself, and just being mean.
Simon's favorite thing was to attack Dudley and his sisters. He would dive deep in the water, lurking near the bottom, and then, when he saw the dolphins playing near the surface, he would swim as hard as he could toward them and try to bite their tails! But the dolphins always saw him coming, and they would come up out of the water, and stand on their tails, and whistle and giggle, the way dolphins do, and they always managed to keep just out of reach of Simons big sharp teeth.
I don't think Simon really wanted to catch them do you? Because if he caught them and ate them, well... he wouldn't have any fun anymore. But you never know about sharks, so Dudley and his sisters were always on the lookout for Simon the grump.
One day, while Dudley was swimming by himself, and Simon was chasing him, they got very close to the shore. Dudley leaped out of the water with Simon right behind him, and they both saw something very strange on the beach. There, leading out of the swamp, were strange tracks in the sand! Dudley stopped swimming, and Simon stopped chasing, and they floated and wondered about the unusual footprints in front of them.
They had never seen marks like that before! "I wonder if it was a duck billed platypuss?" said Dudley. "I don't think so" replied Simon, "I'll bet it was a Red Breasted Hairy Headed Knee Walker!"
But since neither of those creatures were seen in those parts very often, they kept on wondering. They thought maybe it had been a Big Bellied Widget Gobbler, or a Black and White Thingy, or perhaps a Hooty Snooty Crawler. But they just weren't sure what had made those funny, large footprints!
All of a sudden they heard something coming, something was shuffling along the beach. They could almost see it now, it was getting closer and closer, and then, there it was! It was even stranger than anything they had thought of! There, coming at them, getting nearer and nearer was.........
....a by golly great big green alligator, wearing a funny hat and raggedy overalls! And he was dancing!
Well, they thought this was the funniest sight they had ever seen, but then, they heard music too! And the music was getting louder and louder, and out of the corners of their eyes they saw...oh, it just couldn't be!
There, coming out of the swamp, was a frog playing a banjo! And over there, walking towards them up the beach, was a raccoon playing a fiddle! And soon the three strange animals were right in front of Simon and Dudley, and the frog strummed his banjo, and the raccoon fiddled his fiddle, and the great green alligator danced, and they were all having a wonderful time!
