A Swimmer And A Crocodile

Rating: 5.0


He wants to cross the river
But the ferryman is nowhere
The notice says Crocodiles and beware!
Swimmer in a clue.
An old crocodile came
And tears in its eyes.
'I was watching since in the morning
And I am so sorry,
Believe me I am a different one
Always help others
And if you don't mind
I can give you a ride
Before it gets dark.'
'I too scare of darkness
And I love rides but not in a rough weather uncle.'
Swimmer replied.

An interesting 'take' on an old fable. What a wise swimmer you show us here, Nimal. He will not be fooled by Mr. Wily Crock, however tired he may be. Clever and witty. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
