The slimy, disgusting spit of the alligator drooled on the grass. The innocent looking
gorilla sat there staring stupidly into space, not noticing the huge green
alligator casting a shadow down upon him. The gorilla still seemed deep in thought
about the light blue sky and small clouds drifting in and out of the sun. There
was nothing in the sky that could have brought him to his senses! He finally
noticed the huge shadow looming over him. He shrieked like a girl, and ran for
his life. He knew alligators did not try to eat his kind, but he was scared. He
had always been scared of scaly green things. That’s why he was only scared of
mermaids with green tails, not with blue or pink or purple tails; only green.
The gorilla watched Bubble Guppies on TV. He wasn’t quite sure why he was
scared of green scales. He just saw them once when he was little, ran away from
them, and from then on was scare of them.
As for Karrie, she didn’t know what to do! Of course she was scared to death about
this odd scene in her backyard. She was frozen staring at them. “Seems we
have a couple gorillas missing!” bleeped the radio. Karrie took
no attention. She breathed heavily and told herself to calm down.
“… oh my
gosh! We seem to have one alligator missing too!
Karrie jumped. She flipped off her radio and ran
over to the alligator. Oh man, she
thought, its teeth are so shiny. I
hope I can do this. She ran into the way of the alligator barely thinking about
what she was doing. She knocked it off its feet and the gorilla got away. The
zookeeper came and scooped him up. Soon he was back in his cage with his
family. The alligator could not harm him anymore. Karrie was on the news and
all over the internet by the next day. She was, “Random girl saves gorilla from
harm” or “Girl saves the gorilla!”
Everybody was trying to get her picture or some good information out of
her. Reporters were asking, “What was it like? What happened?” She just said,
“I just dove in and they did the rest by themselves! Now get out of here! I
want some peace!” Now I know how the
gorilla felt, she thought.
