You see, one spring I got hurt so that I couldn't take my usual long journey to the Far North and had to spend the summer way down in the Southland where I always lived in the winter, and that is how I happened to learn about Mrs. 'Gator's nest and eggs and a lot of other things. Mrs. 'Gator is lazy, but she is smart. She's smart enough to make Mr. Sun do her work. What do you think of that?"
I cried, catching him by the ear. "How came you to play me that trick?" "On'y for bit ob fun, Mass' George; on'y for bit ob fun." "You dog!" I cried, shaking him. "On'y lil bit o' fun, Mass' George; got de 'gator's head on to frighten um. Nebber tink no 'gator dah, or not nebber done it." "No, I suppose not," I cried. "How dare you try to frighten me like that!"
"I do indeed. Please forgive me. Is is Mrs. 'Gator's nest at all like yours?" Peter seemed so truly sorry for having doubted her that Mrs. Quack recovered her good nature at once. "No," said she, "it isn't. If I hadn't seen her make it, I wouldn't have known it was a nest.
When it was within a few feet, the man with the rifle, knowing that he alone had a weapon, took deliberate aim and fired bullet, ramrod, and all down the 'gator's throat. The animal turned over twice, and rolling off the bank, sank out of sight. The alligators of the Amazon River in South America are very numerous, and owing to scarcity of hunters attain a very great size.
Here a mess." Pomp was about to jump into the pool to wash the mud from his legs, when he suddenly clapped his hands. "Oh, here's game, Mass' George; only look. Dat's ole 'gator's house a water, where he keep all 'um lil pickaninny. Look at 'um." Sure enough, there were five or six small alligators at the far end little fellows not very long out of the shell.
Perhaps his toes were less tough than Johnny's, or maybe he didn't manage them as well, for one of them got in a baby 'gator's mouth. Dick couldn't suppress a yell as two rows of needle-like teeth sunk into his flesh, and he jerked his foot away so violently that he lost the chance of bagging his game. Then Ned came floundering through the mud and almost dragged him out of the pond.
