Chapter 30 - A crocodile sat crying

A crocodile sat crying

By the river one fine day.

His tears fell in the water

And were swiftly swept away;

But as he sat there crying,

From the corner of his eye,

He looked around most carefully

To see what would pass by.

Swimming in the river

Was a juicy little frog,

Who thought the weeping crocodile

Was just a fallen log.

He hopped out of the water

For a rest there by its side,

But as he settled down he saw

The crocodile who cried.

"Come closer,"said the crocodile,

"And wipe away my tear."

The frog jumped backwards quickly

And he answered,"No-No!my dear.

I'm sure you'd like to eat me

For I know your little game."

And he jumped back in the water

And was never seen again.

Now listen, little animals,

Here's something you should know,

Beware the weeping crocodile,

His tears are all for show!
