Here is a story of a disappointed alligator:
“The fisherman was fast asleep on the river bank when the alligator crawled up and tried to swallow him, but only succeeded in swallowing his boots, in which were so many snakes that the gator turned from the river and took to the woods, where in a vain effort to climb a tree he was shot by a nature faker and sold to a college museum as a hitherto unheard of specimen of the saurian family.”
