Mousedeer and Crocodile
One day Mousedeer saw a lot of fruits on the other side of the river. He wanted to eat them but he could not cross the river. There were many crocodiles there, but there was no bridge across the river. The Mousedeer suddenly had an idea. He stood on the river side and called out.
“Hello. Is anybody there?”
Crocodile heard him, he swam fast to meet Mousedeer, and answered, “Hello, Mouse. How are you? Please come in “He pretended to be friendly. He had a plan. As soon as Mousedeer got near, he would snap him and eat him for breakfast.
But Mousedeer was standing on top of a big stone. In a proud voice he said, “Crocodile, I’m here to do the King’s order. The King will give away free meat to all crocodiles. He has sent me to count the number of all the crocodiles here.”
Crocodile was so happy that he forgot his plan to eat Mousedeer. “Really? How will you count us?”
“Please call all your family, relatives, friends, neighbours. Tell them to line up from here to the other side of the river,” ordered Mousedeer.
Before long, all the crocodiles were in a long line across the river. Then, Mousedeer jumped onto the back of one crocodile to another, counting loudly “One, Two, Three, Four.” When he got to the last crocodile he said “One hundred!” and quickly jumped up to the land.
“How many are we?” asked Crocodile.
“One hundred. Hahaha, I fooled you! Thanks for giving me a bridge to cross the river. Bye!
