I think he’s about 13 feet long. That is big! Elizabeth Rocchio, Indianapolis, IN; age 8 Photo by Bruce Dean Witt’s alligator story 68 One day when we were playing golf at Oak, we stopped at the bathroom. My dad thought he saw a golf ball over by the pond so he sent me to go and get it. It was actually an “I VOTED” sticker. I bent over to pick up the sticker and saw an alligator with his mouth half opened right in front of me. I was only three feet away from it! I ran back to the golf cart and told my dad. My dad went to look at it and the alligator hissed at him. He said, “We gotta get out of here.” He drove on without looking and almost turned the golf cart over. When we turned back to look, the alligator was already on the green. Witt Frost; age 8 Naturally Kiawah
