There's An Alligator Under My Bed

There's An Alligator Under My Bed

When it was time to go to sleep, I had to be very careful, because I knew he was there.

But whenever I looked, he hid or something, so I called Mom and _______, " MOM! DAD! " But they never saw it.

It was up to me – I just had to do something about that ________________.

So I went to the __________ to get some alligator bait.

I filled a paper bag full of things that alligators like to eat.

I put a peanut butter sandwich, some fruit, and the last piece of pie in the garage. I put cookies down the hall. I left fresh ________________ on the stairs. I put a soda and some candy next to my bed and then I watched and waited.

Sure enough, out he came, to get something to eat.

Then I hid in the hall closet. I followed him down the stairs. I followed him down the hall. When he crawled into the garage, I slammed the _________ and I locked it!

Then I went into bed.

There wasn't even any _________ to clean up.

Now that there's an alligator in the garage, I wonder if my Dad will have any trouble getting in his _________ tomorrow morning.

I'll just leave him a note.

DEAR DAD,

THERE'S AN ALLIGATOR IN THE GARAGE

IF YOU NEED MY HELP, WAKE ME UP!
