Deep in the forest, in the river, lived a
large crocodile. He was a very selfish crocodile, and he didn�t want any other
creature to drink or bathe in the river. Every day, he shouted to the creatures
of the forest, �Stay away from my river! It�s MY river! If you come in my river,
I�ll eat you all!�
So there were no fish,
no tadpoles, no frogs, and no crabs in the river. Whenever the forest creatures
were thirsty, they walked for miles to drink in other rivers and streams.
