A Gecko's Tale
If a gecko could talk, it might tell you an amazing tale. What's the story? Why, it's about a tail—a gecko's tail.
A gecko is a kind of lizard. Geckos live in war places such as rain forests, deserts, grasslands, and marshes. Many people also keep them as pets.
Geckos come in all sizes. Some kinds are only the length of your fingernail, and others are longer than your foot.
Geckos hunt for food at night. They move quickly and silently, so they can catch crickets and roaches. Sometimes they eat small birds and mice.
A gecko has a short, thick tail. Its tail helps it survive. What happens when another animal catches a gecko?
The gecko lets go of its tail and escapes! Later, it grows a new one. Now that's an amazing, but true, tale!
