When a graduate student lived at my house in Springfield he brought along his alligator. Every so often he would come home with a little package, the sort you get Chinese food in he would announce “feeding frenzy!” I would join him at the alligator’s tank and Andy would pour in the goldfish. Then what a thrashing and splashing while the goldfish were consumed, all except three. These were allowed to swim
around for several days in and out
of the alligator jaws until they were
suddenly gone. I often wondered
if he saved these three for snacks!
