which of them is the most beautiful.

Fed up with their squabbles, the other

A jaunty rhyming story about a crotchety croc who likes nothing better than to bask on his rock and chase the other animals away. But once he has splashed around all by himself, the croc realises that a world without friends is no fun at all and sharing the river is the best way to enjoy it.

Furious again, he stood on his rock

And thumped ‘til the water did shiver.

The angry croc, he yelled out so loud,

“GET OUT OF MY RIVER!”

Yelled the croc on the rock,

“I’ll eat you for my tea.”“GET OUT OF MY RIVER!”

Yelled the croc on the rock,

“It’s only meant for me!”

“Will you get outof my river? ”
