The Three Little Gators

To protect themselves from the Big-bottomed Boar, the alligators build their houses with the usual materials (rocks, sticks, and sand). Encountering the sand house, the Big-bottomed Boar follows through on his threat to “wiggle my rump with a bump, bump, bump and smash your house!” The result: “Sand flew everywhere” while the Little Gator escapes “faster than a fox after a muskrat” to the stick house, and so on.

I like the three little gators because it's kind of like the three little pigs. I liked the part where the big fat pig smashed into the house. Nancy
