Making the First Move

Several more seconds pass, and still the gator is holding back. The audience is growing restless. "Guess I'll have to make the first move," you think. You take a deep breath...and hurl yourself at Albert like a runaway freight train!

Albert stands calmly and quietly as you barrel towards him, his tail swishing slightly. At the last possible moment, he hops to one side, and you lumber past him like...well, like a charging hippo. With a graceful spin and leap, the gator lands on your back and wraps his scaly arms around you, pinning your arms to your sides.

Instinctively, you raise your arms...and immediately break free of Albert's grip! The gator leaps back, out of your reach, while you spin around to face him. For a split second, you stare at each other.

It's hard to tell who's more surprised, you or Albert. The utter ease with which you broke free makes one thing clear, though: not only are you stronger than the big green gator, you are MUCH stronger!
