A crocodile in his swamp did lay,
waiting for food to come his way,
a wading bird came in to view,
nice thought the croc, that will do.
"come over here" the crocodile cried,
"what do you want" the bird replied.
" I have a stone stuck in my snout,
and your big beak will soon get it out"
"will I be safe"? asked the bird,
yes, said the croc, you have my word.
come over here, come with haste.
a juicy big wading bird he could taste. The wading bird was soon by his
side,
the crocodile waited, jaws open wide,
his mouth snapped shut, with a mighty roar. and the foolish wading bird
was no more.
