Hey, crocodile! Hello, mouse deer. Do you come here to be my lunch? I’m ready to be your lunch on one condition
Tell me, what is it? 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
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. One two three
How many of us are there, mouse deer? 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!
