The dozing crocodile protested by whipping his massive tail and striking the haughty beast, then slipped into the water. “Why don’t you come ashore and fight like me?” the tiger roared in anger. The crocodile replied, “Why don’t you come in here and fight like me?” The tiger jumped into the river and attacked the crocodile. He could hardly keep his head afloat. The crocodile circled the swimmer and snapping his large jaws, pulled the tiger under the water to drown him. Frantically, the tiger struggled to get his head above water, and roared, “Stop, stop pulling me down. Let’s call our battle a draw. From this day on, I proclaim you King of the River.” But it was a bit of too late for him bacause crocodile has already opened his mouth and swallowed him.
