What would you do if
there was an alligator under your bed? The boy in this story was
faced with that situation. He just knew that when he got in his
bed the alligator was underneath it.
He would hang
his head over the side of the bed and look under it for the alligator
but he never saw it. But since he just knew that the alligator
was under his bed he would call for his parents to come and help
him. They never saw the alligator and they told him that he
needed to forget about it and go to sleep.
The
little boy was still convinved that the alligator was under his bed so
he came up with a plan. He went down to the kitchen and got some
food. He made a trail from his bed to the garage so the alligator
would eat the food and end up outside in the garage and not underneath
his bed, and guessed what - it worked! Then he fell asleep
thinking about what would happen in the morning when his Dad found the
alligator in the garage.
