 The Mouse Deer and the Crocodile

One hot sunny day in a jungle, a small mouse deer was walking around for food. When
he reached the river, he saw plenty of fruits on the other side of the river. However, he knew
that the river was full of hungry crocodiles that might be waiting underwater to eat him. An
idea came to his mind when he saw a floating log on the river.
“Hey, crocodile!” called out the mouse deer loudly.
A crocodile surfaced from underwater.
“Hello, mouse deer. Do you come here to be my lunch?” asked the crocodile.
“I’m ready to be your lunch on one condition,” said the mouse deer.
“Tell me, what is it?” asked the crocodile.
“You have to share my flesh evenly with all of your friends here, crocodile. I need you
to gather them so I can count them all,” replied the mouse deer.
Then the crocodile called all of his friends to gather.
After the crocodile got all of his friends gathered, the mouse deer ordered them to do
what he said,
“Attention all crocodiles! I need you all to float in a row from here to the other side of
the river.”
In a moment, the crocodiles arranged themselves to float in a row across the river.
The mouse deer then jumped onto the crocodile’s back.
“One,” he counted.
He jumped onto the next crocodile’s back and yelled,
“Two.” He kept jumping and counting until he reached the other river’s side.
“How many of us are there, mouse deer?” asked the crocodile.
“Well, I don’t think that my flesh will be enough for you all so I wish you get a larger
prey next time. But thank for helping me to cross the river. Bye!” said the mouse deer
as he run quickly to the jungle.
