The Dog and The Crocodile

          Once there was a farm near a river. At the farm, there were a lot of animals. 

A mother dog lived in this farm with its five puppies. 

She loved her puppies very much. 

One day, there was a crocodile coming from the river. 

It ate a puppy and went back to the river. 

The mother dog was very sad and she was sure that the crocodile would come to eat her puppies again.

 But, no animals would to help her. “I cannot help you. 

The crocodile was big and very fierce,” said a horse.

 “I agree,” said an ox. The mother dog then walked to ask the donkey, but he also said “No.”

This made her despair. Therefore, she left the barn and cried under a tree.

At that time, a black dog passed by. “Why are you crying” asked he.

After the mother dog told him her story, he said, “Don’t be afraid I will bring my friends to help you.”

The next day, when the crocodile came to farm to eat another puppy,

 the mother dog whined for help.

 The black dog heard her whine and quickly ran to the farm with his friends.

 Although the crocodile was big and fierce, all the dogs fought without fear.

 Some dogs died, but others still fought bravely. The crocodile was hurt so badly,

 that it had to run back to the river. “Thank you very much”

My puppies and I will never forget your help.

From now on, we will live here safely,” said the mother dog.

This story teaches us that

“Friend in need is a friend indeed.”
