AN UNEXPECTED MEAL 



The peccary stood on the alligator's tail, mistaking it for a tree trunk. In a moment the 

 alligator stretched its tail round like a bow almost to its side ; suddenly it let go, and whilst 

 the peccary thus shot up was still in mid-air, it swung its terrible tail again, and knocked its 

 now insensible prey almost into its own 'aws.
