MOUSE DEER AND CROCODILE

One day, Mouse Deer go to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the
crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud.

“I wonder if the water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.”

Of course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put
one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it
underwater. Mouse Deer laughed.

“Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile! Don't you know the difference


between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere
else.

In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the
fruits on the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew
that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be
eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea.

He called out loud, “Crocodile!” rose from the water, “Hello, Mouse Deer.
Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled.

“Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to
invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all
the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”

“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said

Crocodile.

“You must line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said
Mouse Deer.

Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river.
Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back.
“One”he counted.

He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two”

And the next calculator, “Three”

Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river.

“How many are there?” calculate asked Crocodile.

“Just enough,” said Mouse Deer.

He laughed as he ran to the forest.
