did his best to wake up one or two very torpid alligators which lay in
the sunshine by seizing hold of their tails and making them take to the
water. Finally, after much persuasion, two alligators were induced to
come up for the food. One of these—an old one with no teeth (none of
them have tongues)—opened its horrid white mouth and snapped at the
piece of meat which the man dangled at the end of the string. Meanwhile
big yellow turtles swam up to join in the game, at which they were much
quicker than the alligators. Large brown kites, too, seeing what was
going on, hovered about expectantly, and dexterously caught fragments
thrown to them in mid air. The ubiquitous crow was there also, ready
