Once upon a time, there was a little alligator named Ally. Ally was very persistent. She liked to play with her friends in the pond. One sunny day, Ally saw a new friend, a duck named Ducky. Ally swam up to Ducky and said, "Hi! Do you want to play with me?"
Ducky looked at Ally and felt scared. Ducky had never seen an alligator before. Ducky decided to ignore Ally and swam away. Ally was sad and didn't understand why Ducky ignored her. Ally's mom saw what happened and told her, "Don't worry, Ally. Maybe Ducky just needs some time to get to know you."
The next day, Ally saw Ducky again. Ally remembered what her mom said and tried to be nice. She swam up to Ducky and said, "Hi, Ducky! I brought you some yummy food to share." Ducky saw the food and thought it looked good. Ducky decided to give Ally a chance.
Ally and Ducky ate the food together and had lots of fun. They played in the pond all day long. From that day on, Ally and Ducky were best friends. They learned that being persistent and kind can make new friends, even if it takes time.
