The Pink Alligator

Once upon a time a Pink Alligator was born in the calm forest of green, but he turned out to be pink. He's so visible that he can't hunt for food easily, so he's always especially hungry. The other animals dislike him and consider his coloration disgusting, almost like he's cursed. So, he started living alone. But then one day he made a friend. His friend was a bird--but, that bird was unable to fly. So the bird always ride on the pink alligator's back and practice its flying.

That bird was the alligator's first friend, and he was very happy. They started going to the river every day, and the little bird sing while the alligator listened. But again, the alligator couldn't catch food easily because of his  color. Pink is such an odd color, his prey in the jungle saw him from far away and had plenty of time to escape. He became so hungry that he was dizzy most of the time. And  one afternoon he accidentally ate the bird as it slept in his mouth. Of course, he realized his mistake immediately. He drank swamp water to induce vomiting... but the bird was already dead when he retrieved it. After that, he couldn't bring himself to eat anything.

Since the alligator ate his friend, he cried and cried for a very long time. In fact, he was so sad... that he drowned in his own tears. His tears became a beautiful lake, around which grew beautiful flowers and a tree with delicious fruit. The other animals in the forest came there often to relax, but none of them knew the alligator had created it or that he was gone.

The End.
