How the Gecko Got Regeneration

Introduction: Hi, this is Gecko. He is ive. He eats insects.

The Story: Gecko lived in a hole in a tree. He couldn’t regenerate his tail, because way back he was told he couldn’t regenerate it because 1. It was April Fools’ and 2. For fun. He got scared when he realized it, and he tried to be as safe as he could be, but there were predators waiting out the door. The Problem: He went out for some grub, but there was a lion right next to him. (For the record, I have no idea if lions eat geckos.) Then he realized his tail was gone, but it was a prank, and it grew back three days later.

You are the warmth of the sun but the pain of the needle. Sot as a white lufy hello, but as rough as a stone rolling down a mountain with speed, you are not an Angel up in heaven, dressed in white, with speckles of gold. More like a devil, covered in black, speckled with red. But no matter what you are my match.
