The passage describes the activities of various animals starting with each letter of the alphabet. An alligator ate antelopes, bats bothered baboons, cats sharpened claws on couches, and dogs wore diapers to dinner. Elephants found eggs in Egypt, foxes flew to Florida, and gorillas grew like giants. Horses hated hiccups and an iguana liked ice cream while a jaguar was scared by jack-o-lanterns. A kangaroo kicked a kid and a lion attacked a llama. Mountain goats moaned moving and a net caught gnats. An octopus opened ocean doors and a queen fish quacked. A rat heard a snake while snakes sought snacks.
