1. 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

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.
“Friend in need is a friend indeed.”
