Once, there was an African crocodile named Doddy and he was lying in mud, trying to cool of his body in the African heat. He had his mouth opened, like most crocodiles when they relax in mud. There was a wilderbeast standing too close to Doddy, and this didn’t please Doddy. “hhhmmmmm, this damn wilderbeast is standing too close, perhaps I’m gonna feast him today….looks nice….” thought Doddy.

A leopard named Usman, suddenly came from behind the wilderbeast and attacked it, while a bird came and sat in Doddy’s mouth. Doddy shouted at Usman and said, “Hey pal, that’s my prey you’re attacking…get off, this wilderbeast is mine…” and he crushed the bird sitting in his mouth, killing it. He didn’t realise that he just killed a bird sitting in his mouth, but he thought, “Damn this bird tastes good”. Usman replied, “Well I attacked this wilderbeast before you, therefore, logically, this prey is mine…”. “Don’t try to outsmart me you silly little leopard” said Doddy. A serious row broke out between the two, and it started agitating the older crocodiles lying in the mud. The oldest crocodile roared and said, “You two, sure don’t have any table manner, I am gonna call these National Park officials and have you taken away to captivity where you both shall learn the sophisticated form of dining in the wild”.

Soon the people from the National Park arrived and took Doddy and Usman into an aeroplane to be flown to Australia. While they were in the plane, both of them realised that they shouldn’t have fought over the wilderbeast, and that they should have ripped it apart in two pieces and eaten the halves. Usman said that he would eat the head, some portion of the stomach, and the legs of the wilderbeast, and that Doddy could have the rest. Doddy readily agreed to his proposition, but sadly it wouldn’t help them now because it was too late and they were to now learn table manners at a National Park in Australia. While they were talking, they realised that they had a common friend, Darla, the giraffe who ran a coffee shop near spiny trees that she ate the leaves from. The talked about Darla, and her beautiful but atrociously abnormal long neck. Meanwhile, the pilots had difficulty flying the plane because a bird had just hit the windscreen of the plane. The plane, eventually crashed, killing Doddy and Usamn. The bird was the uncle of the bird that Doddy had killed in his mouth and he collided into the plane primarily to avenge the death of his beautiful relative.
