Chapter 3: homework for the body paragraphs
on a farm in camilla, georgia, there is a barn with hundreds of animals-not cows, not horses, not
pigs, but alligators. these alligators are bred for their skins, which are used in high-fashion products.
although the alligators live in a lowly farm now, their hides are destined for some of the most chic
stores in europe: hermes, gucci, louis vuitton, prada, and chanel. these alligators were first brought
to the farm when its owner raised chickens. the alligators were the cleanup crew-they were thought to
be cheaper than burning and burying the bird carcasses. however, it turns out that alligators, even
with a free, steady food source of chicken, are expensive. alligators are much more profitable as
handbags than dead-meat disposers. so, the farmer managed to turn a greater profit by seeing a new,
unusual opportunity. this kind of innovative agility should be a model for other businesses.
