Once upon a time the rabbit used to have a long and beautiful tail similar to that of the squirrel and at that time the crocodile also had a long tongue like other animals on earth.
Unfortunately, one day while the rabbit was drinking water at the bank of a river without realizing possible danger, a big crocodile slowly and quietly moved in. It came close to the poor rabbit.The crocodile suddenly snatched the small creature into its mouth with intention of eating it slowly.
the crocodile threatened the helpless rabbit by making a loud noise without opening its mouth. Afraid as it was, the rabbit pretended not to fear approaching death and shouted loudly.
Though you are big, I’m not afraid of you in the least. You threatened me with a noise not loud enough to make me scared because you didn’t open your mouth widely.”
Not knowing the rabbit’s trick, the furious crocodile opened its mouth widely and made a loud noise.
At the moment of sharp pain, the crocodile shut its mouth at once as instinct had taught it to do.
