[Get ready for the most writing Luke will ever see from Minato at one time.]
Once there was a green forest where alligators and other animals lived. But one alligator was different from the others. He was born with pink skin. The other alligators wouldn't talk to him, and he couldn't blend in with the rest of the forest. It was hard to find food and he had no friends.
One day, the alligator met a bird. This bird was also different because it didn't know how to fly. The bird and the alligator became best friends. The alligator let the bird sleep in his mouth so it would be safe from the other predators in the forest.
But the alligator still couldn't catch food of his own. He got weaker and weaker. One day he was so hungry, he swallowed his friend in his sleep. The alligator was horrified and tried everything to save him, but the bird was already dead.
[There's a pause in the writing while he rests his hand, so Luke has room to interject.]
