The Crocodile

One day a man and his wife were working on their farm when they saw an egg. They examined the egg and discovered that the egg belong to a crocodile so they decided to keep it.

One month later, the egg hatched and a crocodile emerged from it and they named it croco. And they kept it because they have no child. They made a pond and put croco in it. Croco was growing very fast and the couple took care of it. Other animals’ jealous croco because of the kind of food he is eating and how the couple took care of him. One day the couple found out that croco is too big to stay in the small pond and they decided to make a stream flowing pond to put him there.

Croco started growing very big and started troubling everyone including the fishes in the stream . He also became too proud of himself that he ignored even his human parents. One day croco  looked at himself and said “I am the biggest and strongest, no one not even the couple can kill me.” So one week later the couple came to see croco but croco refused to answer them, saying I am not your son I can take care of myself. However, they waited for a long time but to no avail.

The next day they came back again but after beckoning on croco without answering, they heard some people talking on how to kill croco. They ran up to them and begged them not to kill croco instead they should kill them but the hunters refused. After so much begging, the couple blocked the road and asked the hunters to kill them first before killing croco. After much begging, the hunters agreed but asked them to warn croco to stop making trouble and boasting.  Croco was watching while all the conversation was taking place with rapt attention. So when the couple came to croco he apologized and promised them not to trouble anyone again and will forever be there son.
