waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. I wonder if the waters warm. Ill put in my leg and
find out. Of course Mouse Deer didnt put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into
the water. Chomp! Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. Ha

Two. And the next crocodile, Three. Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of
the river. How many are there? asked Crocodile. Just enough, said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he
ran to the forest.***

Dia melihat batang kayu mengambang di sungai. Dia tahu bahwa Buaya tampak seperti kayu
mengambang ketika ia mengambang. Kancil tidak mau dimakan oleh buaya ketika ia melintasi sungai.
Dia punya ide. Ia berseru keras, Buaya! Buaya terangkat dari air, Halo, Kancil. Apakah kamu datang
untuk menjadi makan siang saya? Kancil tersenyum. Maaf, tidak hari ini, Buaya. Saya mendapat
perintah dari Raja. Dia ingin mengajak seluruh buaya di sungai ini ke pesta. Dia ingin aku menghitung
semua buaya sehingga ia bisa mempersiapkan cukup makanan untuk kamu.

Sunggu? Beritahu kami apa yang harus dilakukan, kata Buaya. kamu harus berbaris dari sisi sungai
