When the artist's imagination would construct, e.g., a winged dragon, the concept is always made up of parts which are real eyes like an alligator, bat-wings, scales of a fish or crocodile, and so forth. All the members or parts are real, put together to form the unreal. We have to deal not with a part of man, but with the whole.
Then I thought I might get it after you had gone, for the water is shallow there, and I wanted a rifle awfully." "Oh! what a bad boy you are," said Ruth, shaking her pretty head. "Yes, I know I am," said Frank, "but I ain't going to be any longer if I can help it." "How did that alligator get you, anyway?" asked Mark, who was very curious upon this point.
Well, the alligator laughed at that oh there I go again I mean the grasshopper laughed, and then Uncle Wiggily and Percival went off together, very glad indeed that they had had a chance to do a kindness, even to a grasshopper. Pretty soon they came to a place where there were two roads branching off, one to the right hand and the other to the left, like the letter "Y."
In the morning Tom had a mussed-up look and the reptile had a number of fresh wounds. As the camp was moved that day and Ned continued to object to taking an alligator in the canoe the reptile was turned loose. He walked with dignity out on the prairie until he was near the slough, when he scuttled hastily to the water and plunged in.
"O heavens!" she exclaimed, "I saw an alligator a few days ago." An expression of horror passed over his face. "I've cautioned her not to fish so much for shells and sea-mosses," said he; "but she was always so self-willed." "Don't say anything against the little darling!" implored Rosa. "Perhaps we shall never see her again."
The reptile was hanging from a rail on the bus, its form grotesquely large for a gecko and resembling a Silpakorn swamp monster in miniature, with a head like a four legged dinosaur, a tongue like a snake, and a body like an alligator, but a gecko it was nonetheless. "It's your destiny and you cannot escape it. Why look so frightened? Don't you like that which circumvents etiquette?" "Maybe."
After crossing some scrubby sandstone ridges, we came to a sandy creek, up which we proceeded until we found a small water-hole, which had been filled by the late thunder-storms, where we encamped. The weather had been very favourable since we left the upper South Alligator River. It was evident from the appearance of the creek and the swamps, that the rains had been less abundant here.
It gives an alligator but little inconvenience to shoot off a portion of his head with a mass of the brain attached to it; and they have been known to fight for hours with the entire brain removed. Though generally fleeing from man upon terra firma, the alligator will quickly attack him in the water.
Higher and higher it went, like an elevator, taking Uncle Wiggily up with it. "Oh, now I'm safe!" cried the rabbit, for he was quite high in the air by this time. "No, you're not. I'll get you yet!" cried the alligator, as he reared up on the end of his skillery-scalery tail.
"We've no sarvice in our country, I've a notion, my old bobtail roarer," said he. "When do you come alongside of my schooner, for tother lading with this raft of yours? Not to-night, I guess." "Well, you've guessed right this time," replied old Tom; "we shall lie on the mud till to-morrow morning, with your permission." "Yes, for all the world like a Louisiana alligator.
