the river or bayou. or rolls about on

banks of the stream; but when winter
comes 1t buries its great body in the
tnud and sitths down for a loug sleep.
It has no love for cold weath(r, and no
notion of making itself uncomfortable,
when It can just as well take a good.
long cold-r-eather nap. Not such a bad
plan, Li It?
Sometimes tt happens that the seeds
of grass and weeds are blown into the
wet soil, and quickly spring up, green
and fresh, ort the beck of the alligator.
As a rule, these tender plants are
shaken or washed off when the great
creature wakes up and rolls into the
water: but now and then the mud
clings, the young plants stick fast, and

suddenly it opened its huge jaws and

this time thoroughly wide awake. It
found out hoer hungry it was, and also
how dry, and, with ona wild snort.
