Once upon a time, there was an alligator named Al who loved to play with his animal friends - a bat named Benny, a cat named Cleo, and a tiger named Timmy. One day, they were playing a game of catch with a cup when they stumbled upon a juicy red apple. They all took turns taking bites out of the apple, but Timmy ate it all in one big bite! Suddenly, a car drove by and ran over an ant. The animals felt sorry for the ant, so they decided to give it a proper burial. They used the cup to scoop dirt onto the ant, and said a few kind words. From that day on, they made sure to always look both ways before crossing the road. The end.
