The Greedy Crocodile
Once there was a crocodile. He was really hungry. He saw a boy. The
boy had some meat in his hand. He decided he wanted to eat both the
boy and his meat. He would trick the boy.
The crocodile said, "Oh! Little Boy! could you please give me some
meat?"
The boy said, "Oh no, you will eat me"
The crocodile said, "I promise, I won't eat you."
So the boy went near the crocodile to give him the meat. But,
instead the crocodile tried to catch the boy. It caught just his
arm.
There came a rabbit. It wanted to help the boy. It did help the
boy. The crocodile wanted to eat the rabbit first, so he let go of
the boy's arm.
The boy ran away and escaped and the rabbit too fled away. The
cunning crocodile didn't get his dinner.
