One day, Grandma sent her grandson Johnny down to the water hole to get some water for cooking dinner. As he was dipping the bucket in, he saw two big eyes looking back at him. He dropped the bucket and hightailed it for Grandmas kitchen.

Wheres my bucket and wheres my water? Grandma asked him.

I cant get any water from that water hole, Grandma, exclaimed Johnny.

Theres a big ol alligator down there!

Now dont you mind that ol alligator, Johnny. Hes been there for a few years now, and hes never hurt no one. Why, hes probably as scared of you as you are of him!

Well, Grandma, replied Johnny, if hes as scared of me as I am of him, then that water aint fit to drink!
