Benny on the Crocodile.

The crocodile is a large animal that
inhabits the Nile and loves to go on
the sandy beach to bask in the sun
shine and lay eggs. It looks some
like a dachshund, only there is more
of it at the ends and it is bigger.
There was crocodile once that es-
capped from circus. It roamed DER
the country seeking in vain for pigs
and small children to devour, and
died of starvation in great anguish.
You can ride on the back of croco-
die, but it is more comfortable to
use saddle. It is usually quiet, but
is terrible when reused. We all ought
to be thankful we are not crocodile
