"Animals are in danger--help, kind crocodile! Here comes a terrified mouse, a frightened hog, an antelope. One by one they find shelter on Crocodile's long back, while his big teeth scare their enemies away. GRRR! In a fun game of chase, the kind crocodile gives shelter to one animal after another on his long green back, scaring away their pursuers--until the load becomes too heavy and the crocodile doesn't feel so kind anymore, and turns on his friends. GRRRR! But not for long: "Just kidding!" says Crocodile. "Not kind!" say the friends"--
