Hi I'm Morris the Lion and I like<br />
adventures do you?<br />
Do you think it's important <strong>to</strong> always<br />
tell the truth?<br />
Let me tell you a s<strong>to</strong>ry about a<br />
Crocodile who <strong>to</strong>ld a tall tale but found<br />
his strengths in the end...
One warm, hot jungle day a Crocodile<br />
and a Toucan were playing by the<br />
banks of the jungle river....
<strong>The</strong>y had built their<br />
very own adventure<br />
pirate ship from<br />
logs, leaves and trees<br />
and were just about ready <strong>to</strong> set sail.
<strong>The</strong>y had just finished making<br />
a flippy flappy pirate flag<br />
from jungle leaves,<br />
when Toucan said...
"Should I fly <strong>up</strong> and<br />
put the flag on <strong>to</strong>p<br />
of the ship Croc?"
Croc didn't like the sound of that!<br />
He'd worked so hard carrying all the logs and<br />
he wanted <strong>to</strong> be the one <strong>to</strong> finish off<br />
the ship himself!<br />
"I'll Fly <strong>up</strong> and do it"<br />
Said Croc, without thinking first.
"Crocodiles can't fly!"<br />
exclaimed Toucan.<br />
"Oh yes I can" argued Croc.<br />
"Well, then prove it..."<br />
replied Toucan.
"Ummm.... not yet!"<br />
said Croc, " I'll need something <strong>to</strong> eat<br />
first <strong>to</strong> give me some... um...<br />
...flying energy"
So Croc and Toucan headed off in<strong>to</strong><br />
the jungle in search of something <strong>to</strong> eat.
Before long, Croc and Toucan came<br />
across a <strong>to</strong>wering tree.<br />
Growing at<br />
the tippy <strong>to</strong>p<br />
were the juiciest,<br />
ripest bananas the<br />
friends had<br />
ever seen!.
"Why don't<br />
you<br />
fly <strong>up</strong><br />
Croc<br />
and fetch<br />
some of those<br />
juicy bananas for<br />
us <strong>to</strong> share?"<br />
Asked Toucan
"Ummm... not yet" Said Croc<br />
""I think I'll need <strong>to</strong><br />
stretch and<br />
warm <strong>up</strong> my...<br />
um... flying muscles first"<br />
<strong>The</strong> sight of<br />
those juicy<br />
bananas had made<br />
Croc's tummy start <strong>to</strong> grumble and rumble...<br />
he didn't really feel like running and jumping.
When Suddenly, out of the jungle<br />
darkness...<br />
...A sleepy snake appeared
He didn't look very<br />
happy and was hissing<br />
an angry hiss...
"S Q uak!" Squealed Toucan<br />
And he flew <strong>up</strong> in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
jungle tree<strong>to</strong>ps!<br />
"Come on Croc!"<br />
He shouted from <strong>up</strong><br />
above. "Fly <strong>up</strong> here<br />
<strong>to</strong> safety"
Croc was hungry and<br />
wanted a banana <strong>to</strong><br />
eat ...<br />
.... and worn out from<br />
all that running and<br />
jumping....<br />
...and he missed the cool waters of the jungle<br />
lake and the fun and adventures they were<br />
sure <strong>to</strong> have had playing pirates...
