Cross them out.

An old man wants Badang to help his daughter. It turns out the old
man is the crocodile king! Badang knows how to swim. He goes with
the crocodile king to the palace and saves the princess. The king
gives him gold and jewelled sword. Badang asks the king for more
gold. The king doesn’t want people to know about the crocodiles.
However, Badang tells his friend, Tabiko. Tabiko starts to think
about how he can get the crocodile king’s gold.

Talk to your friend. Do you think the crocodile king is going to find out
that Badang broke his promise? What do you think he is going to do?

Illustrate and draw a picture based on that.
