Task 2: Don’t be afraid of the alligators 1!

While enjoying fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist overturned his boat by accident. He could

swim, but he was afraid of alligators. So he just held tight on to the overturned boat. After a while

he saw a coast guard officer walking close to the shore, and he got excited. He shouted at the

officer, “Are there any alligators around here?” “No,” the man shouted back, “they haven’t been

around for years!” Feeling greatly relieved, the tourist started swimming lazily toward the shore.”

About halfway 2 there he asked the coast guard, just out of curiosity, “How did you get rid of the

alligators?” “We didn’t do anything,” the officer answered. “Wow, how lucky I am,” said the

tourist. The officer then added, “ The sharks got them.
