How the crocodile got its long tail
A long long time ago, there was a lazy crocodile. Its tail was as short as a hotdog sausage. It only eats, drinks and sleeps all day long under the tree that near the water.
One day, a man was walking down a hill, he saw a crocodile eating an apple. He asked “Can I have some of your apple please?” The crocodile didn’t say anything, instead the crocodile threw the apple away and said “Yum!” And it gobbled up the man in two bites. After a while, it drifted off to sleep. The next day, the crocodile’s tummy was rumbling. A dog was carrying a stick and trying to find somebody to play with. Suddenly, the crocodile said “Yum!” behind the dog and gobbled it up without chewing.
In the evening, it held some coconuts in the air, stood on its feet, and pretended to be a coconut tree. Two children came past and saw the coconut tree so they climbed up. When the children were near the top, the crocodile immediately dropped the coconuts and grabbed the two children. It only said “Yum!” and no more. The crocodile stuffed them in its mouth and spat out the bones in the end. Then it drank 10 litres of water and went to sleep.
Everyday, when it saw an animal, it would say “Yum!” and ate it as quickly as possible. In a week, he ate: a lion, a rabbit, a tiger and many many more. One afternoon, an elephant was eating leaves from a tree which the crocodile owned it. The crocodile was about to eat the elephant, but the elephant quickly used its trunk and grabbed the crocodile’s tail and swung it as quickly as it can then it let go of it. The crocodile flew up to the sun and came back with a very long tail because the elephant stretched it. And that’s how the crocodile got its long tail!
