The Crocodile’s Courageous Splash
I’ll get started on the illustration now. It might take a moment!
In a land of sun and sand,
Lived a croc, quite grand.
But oh, what a plight,
He feared water at night!
With scales so green and bright,
He’d shiver at the sight,
Of rivers, lakes, and streams,
They haunted all his dreams.
“Swim?” he’d say with a grin,
“Not me, I can’t begin!”
He’d rather dance on land,
With a top hat in hand.
His friends, they laughed and cheered,
For a croc who never neared,
The water’s edge, so blue,
He’d bid it all adieu.
One day a frog named Fred,
Hopped up and simply said,
“Dear croc, you must be brave,
The water’s not a grave!”
With a gulp and a sigh,
The croc gave it a try,
He dipped a toe, then two,
And swam the whole pond through!
Now he swims with glee,
In rivers wide and free,
A croc who faced his fear,
And found his courage
