There once was an pink alligator. This pink alligator had no friends because he was pink, and he couldn't hunt because he stood out too much. Nobody loved him. One day, he met a bird that couldn't fly and they started to become friends. The bird would constantly practice her flying on the alligator's head.

One morning, the alligator had accidentally snapped his jaw on the bird as it rested in his mouth, consuming her. Realizing what he had done, he desperately drank the muddy water to throw the bird up, hoping that she would still be alive. When he finally puked up the bird, she was already dead. The alligator was so sad. He was so sorry. The alligator cried and cried, and eventually, he drowned in his own tears.

But from his tears, a beautiful lake grew, with beautiful flowers growing all around it and a tree with delicious fruit sprouted. All the animals came there to relax. None of them knew that it was the alligator that had created this place.

None of them knew he had been gone.
