This means: Little ditty to remember the difference between a king snake and a coral snake. They are both red, yellow, and black, but differ in the above-mentioned pattern. King snakes are harmless and coral snakes are the most poisonous North American snake. A coral snake once slithered across my fourth grade teacher's foot. We students were in no doubt that it was, indeed, a coral snake.
2. Always shuffle your feet when you walk in the ocean.
This means: If you do not shuffle your feet, you might step on a stingray hiding just underneath the sand. The stingray will not take well to being stepped on and it will sting you. This will hurt like a mother. If you shuffle your feet, hopefully you'll just nudge it and it won't mind as much.
3. If you are being chased by an alligator, run. But in a zig-zag line, never, ever a straight line.
This means: Alligators can run up to 35 miles per hour. If properly irked, they will chase you, with the intent to eat you. You cannot run up to 35 miles per hour. Luckily, alligators are not the smartest of God's creatures and will follow you step for step. With your superior leg length, you can run faster in a zig-zag line than an alligator can.
