The Roly Poly Bird
Enormous Croc meets with the Roly Poly bird who thinks he is going to eat berries, but instead the Enormous Croc tells it about its plans to eat a child.
The Enormous Croc reaches the town and starts with his 1st plan.
1st plan:
Gathered all the coconuts, took branches from the trees and stood on his tail, waiting for children to come look for coconuts.
Two children wanted coconuts and approached the "tree."
Humpy Rumpy came running towards the children, warning them that it is not a tree, but the Enormous Croc.
The Enormous Croc started working on Trick nr 2.
2nd trick: He went to a children'sn playground when no one was there, he found a big log and lied across it, tugging his feet in, in order to look like a seesaw.
Muggle Wump warns the children that it is not a seesaw and that they need to run.
The Croc went into town to plan his 3rd trick.
Third trick: Go to the fair and get onto the Merry-go-round. He sat very still and saw a little girl, Jill, approach.
The Roly Poly Bird warned Jill and the other children that the "croc" was a real Croc.
The Croc went to a Picnic spot where people usually have picnics and he started plotting his fourth trick.
Trick nr 4: He took flowers and put it on a table, then he removed a bench, hid it in the bushed and made himself into a "bench" by tucking in his tail and his mouth.
Trunky the Elephant warned the children not to sit at the bench, because the Enormous Croc wants to eat them all up.
