Kancil was a clever mousedeer. He had many enemies. One of them was Crocodile. Crocodile
lived in a river in the forest.
Now, one day, Kancil went to the river. It was a very hot day, and he wanted to have a bath.
Kancil bathed and splashed about in the water.
Crocodile saw Kancil. "A nice meal," he thought. Then, he crawled behind Kancil and grabbed
him. He caught one of Kancil's legs.
Kancil was terrified. Then, he had an idea. He saw a twig floating near him. He picked it up
and said, "You stupid fool! So you think you've got me. You're biting a twig - not my leg. Here, this is
my leg."
And with that, he showed Crocodile the twig. Crocodile could not see well. He was a very
