I coccodrilli e gli alligatori si assomigliano. Hanno entrambi fauci enormi con denti aguzzi e una lunga coda. Il loro corpo è coperto di squame irregolari. Gli alligatori hanno il muso largo, arrotondato e a forma di U.
Di solito sono di colore scuro. Il muso è la parte sporgente della testa di un animale, comprendente naso e bocca. I coccodrilli hanno il muso più sottile. Inoltre sono di colore più chiaro rispetto agli alligatori. Alligatori e coccodrilli sono diversi, ma sono entrambi rettili. Il corpo di un rettile può avere le squame o le placche ossee. Serpenti e lucertole sono rettili con le squame. Gli alligatore e i coccodrilli, invece, hanno le placche ossee, chiamate “scuti“. Sia le squame, che gli scudi proteggono il corpo del rettile. 
Alligatori e coccodrilli appartengono all’ordine dei Crocodylia e sono detti anche “LORICATI“. 
Ne esistono 25 specie diverse. Di solito vivono nelle zone calde di tutto il mondo. I loricati non si allontanano mai dall’acqua. Trascorrono molto tempo immersi in pozze, laghi, paludi, acquitrini, fiumi e pantani. Tutti i loricati hanno sensi molto sviluppati. Vista, olfatto e udito sono migliori rispetto a quelli di altri rettili. Al buio vedono meglio di noi. Anche la loro pelle è molto particolare: riescono a percepire i movimenti degli animali, così nell’acqua fangosa  individuano facilmente la preda.

chapter two

A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.

Man 1: Several years ago, I was in a car accident that left me with a back injury. As a computer programmer, I am still able to do my job, but I often have to take painkillers. When the pain gets particularly bad, I sometimes have to lie down on my back for a while until it goes away because sitting up really hurts. When we were in the office, I would worry that my colleagues would see me taking pills. Since we’ve been working from home, it has been much better. I can go and see my physical therapist more often too. I don’t have to worry as much and if I need to lie down for a little while to help my back, I can. When we were in the office, I’d sometimes be in a lot of pain but didn’t feel like I could say anything.

Woman: I have suffered from depression for a long time. Most of the time I manage it, but I often feel very nervous. Working in an office was really hard as I was always scared that I might panic and my colleagues would wonder why I was acting strangely. Working at home has been so much better for me as I don’t have to talk to so many people and I can have a relaxed environment and play peaceful music. Management is talking about going back to the office soon and I can already feel a lot of anxiety about it. I’m worried that I will not be able to hide that I’m depressed and people will judge me.

Man 2: I’m quite deaf in one ear. I don’t like to mention it when I’m at work because I feel as though there is often a stigma around disabilities. I worry that people will treat me differently. The problem is, sometimes I don’t hear when people are talking to me and then they think I’m ignoring them or I’m not listening. Working at home has been great for me because all of our communication has been online or video calls and I can wear headphones like everyone else. I’m not looking forward to going back to the office and I don’t see the point as I can do my job perfectly well from home.
