Their mother warns them to build strong houses that can protect them from Big-bottomed Boar who likes to eat tasty tender gators for his snack.

And Third Gator's house of sand is the easiest one to build! But soon Big-bottomed Boar shows up. With a bump bump bump of the fierce boar's rump he knocks over Third Gator's house of sand. It doesn't take long for that rump to bump Second Gator's house of sticks. But he can't knock over Third Gator's house of stones so he tries another way in - through the chimney!
