 
Once upon a time there was a small girl named Sarah who was very curious. She had lots of questions that she wanted to find the answers to. One day, Sarah went to the park with her parents. She was very excited to explore the park. As she looked around, she spotted an alligator in the pond.
"What's that?" Sarah asked her parents.
"That's an alligator," her father told her.
Sarah carefully observed the alligator. She noticed it was different from other animals she had seen before. She watched as it moved through the water and around the pond. Finally, she asked, "Can I pet it?"
Her parents looked at each other and shook their heads. "No," her father said. "Alligators can be dangerous, so it's best not to touch them."
Sarah nodded and continued to observe the alligator. She watched it until it disappeared back into the pond. Sarah had learned some new and interesting things about alligators.
