Reading Explorer 2, Alligator Encounter Story

 

Do you want to know a terrifying story?  Well, even if you don’t, I will tell you this one anyway.  I was in Florida on vacation, and it was a typical warm, sunny day in the spring season, so I was in a lighthearted mood and wanted to go for a nice walk outside.  I was in a residential neighborhood, and I was passing by a pond when all of a sudden, a giant alligator leapt out of the pond and headed in my direction. 

I was completely alarmed and froze in my place.  The alligator approached me and looked me over curiously.  I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do. I felt if I began running, it might attack, but I didn’t want to stay there and interact with this animal.  How to deal with an alligator in this situation was completely unknown to me.  The thoughts racing in my mind were very complex as I was thinking about how to survive the situation while also thinking about my whole life as I wasn’t sure if these were my last moments or not. 

Suddenly, I remembered that I had packed a turkey sandwich for having a picnic outside.  I pulled out the sandwich and threw it towards the pond.  The alligator headed in that direction to get the sandwich.  Apparently, this was what was attracting him to me.  As he devoured my sandwich, I turned on my jets and got out there as soon as possible  I am very lucky to be telling you this story.
