The Poor Crocodile
Once upon a time, there was a hungry
crocodile hiding under the surface of the
lake. But there were not yet any animals
approaching the lake to drink. That
crocodile was so cruel and thus it had no
friend and the other animals hated it so
much.
One day, when he walked on the
ground, there was a big branch of a tree
falling upon its neck. The crocodile could
not move at all. Not long after, there was
a buffalo coming to the lake to drink. The
crocodile cried for help. The buffalo felt
sad about it and decided to help the
crocodile. After helping the crocodile, the
buffalo got something unexpected. The
crocodile bit the buffalo's leg and the
buffalo shouted loudly asking help from
any other animal near it. Kancil heard the
buffalo's voice. Kancil ran quickly to see
what had happened to the buffalo. Near
the lake, Kancil saw the buffalo and the
crocodile.
Kancil asked: “what happened?”
The buffalo answered: “the crocodile
bites my leg after I help to remove the big
branch from its neck”.
The crocodile also said: “I'm hungry
and you are in my territory, therefore I bit
you poor buffalo.” The crocodile laughed
at the buffalo.
Kancil said to the buffalo, “It is
impossible. You hadn't 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 the
crocodile is right, but then you can try to
prove your story. But first, you must
release your bite, okay?”
Crocodile said, “Okay, it is easy, but
after that, I will eat the buffalo.”
Kancil said, “Okay, deal.”
The buffalo laid the big branch at the
former position, upon the crocodile's
neck. After that suddenly kancil said,
“Let's run buffalo, let's run!” The buffalo
and kancil run as fast as possible and the
crocodile had realized that it had been
fooled by kancil. In the end, the crocodile
was still trapped there and no one helped
