A Hungry Crocodile

A Hungry Crocodile

 

Orientation

One day, there was a hungry crocodile waiting a prey near the lake in the jungle.

That crocodile hiding under the surface of the lake for a long time, but there was not yet any prey approaching that lake to drink.

That crocodile was so cruel and thus it had no friend and the other animals hate it so much.

Complication

At the afternoon, the crocodile could not stay any longer to the lake. It finally walked to the ground.

But that day was unlucky day for that crocodile. After getting at the bank of the lake suddenly there was a big branch of the tree falling upon its neck. The crocodile could not move at all.

Not long after the falling branch, finally there was a buffalo coming to the lake to drink.

The buffalo saw the crocodile and the buffalo was afraid and would leave that lake soon. But the crocodile asked it sadly to help.

The buffalo felt sad about it and decided to help the crocodile.

But after helping the crocodile, the buffalo got something unexpected.

The crocodile bit the buffalo’s leg and the buffalo shouted loudly asking help for any other animal near it.

Kancil that was at the way to go to the Lake heard the buffalo’s voice. Kancil run quickly to see what had happened to the buffalo.

Near the lake, kancil saw the buffalo and the crocodile.

Kancil asked: “what happened?”

And the buffalo answered: “the crocodile bite my leg after I help to remove the big branch from its neck”.

The crocodile also said: “I’m hungry and you are at my territory, therefore I bit you poor buffalo.”

The crocodile laughed at the buffalo.

Kancil said to buffalo, “It is impossible you had helped the crocodile, thus the crocodile had the right to bite you.”

The buffalo said, “I’m not telling a lie. I can prove it.”

Kancil said, “I believe that crocodile is right, but then you can try to prove your telling. But first crocodile must release your bite, okay?”

Crocodile said, “Okay, it is easy, but after that I will eat the buffalo.”

Kancil said, “Okay, deal.”

Resolution

The buffalo laid the big branch at the former position, upon the crocodile’s neck.

After that suddenly kancil said, “Lets run buffalo, lets run!”

The buffalo and kancil run as fast as possible and the crocodile had realized that it is had been fooled by kancil.

The crocodile was still trapped there and there was no one helped it.
