A big alligator floated in the greenish water of a canal in Florida. Only its bulging eyes and
bumpy nostril stuck up above surface. Under the water the alligator's stubby legs paddled
slowly. Its long powerful tail swished gently back and forth, pushing the ten-foot (3m) gator
silently forward. Then with a brush of power, the gator rose up in the water. Its tail whipped
hard to the right. This threw its body a curve and made a big wave in the water. The gator's
mouth opened
wide as the wave swept an empty soft drink can into it. As its teeth crunched
down on the metal the alligator sank back down into water still crunching it paddled towards
the shore
