Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a crocodile in a big lake. The water level in the lake had been decreasing day by day. The elephant came to drink water from the lake little by little every day. Back then, the elephant didn't have a long trunk. The water level kept decreasing. The frog also lived in that lake. He rode on the crocodile's back to cross the lake. So the crocodile didn't like about it. He tried to shake his body to make the frog fall off, but he couldn't. The more the crocodile shook his body, the happier the frog became. In the past, the color of the frog was green. The crocodile's color was gray, like smoke. The elephant came to drink water there, so the water level decreased. The crocodile was really angry. As the water had been decreasing, he didn't know what to do. He was just getting angry. One day, he stayed in the mud just to have fun. He was hiding there. The frog told him, "Crocodile, let's be friends." The crocodile said, "No. I don't want to." The frog kept saying, "Let's be friends." But the crocodile said, "I don't want to." Day by day, the water kept decreasing. One day, while the crocodile was hiding in the mud, the frog jumped on his back. The elephant was about to drink a lot of water. The frog knew it, but he didn't want to say it out loud. So he just jumped on the back of the crocodile. The crocodile got angry at the frog and shook his body to make him fall off. When he turned his head, he saw that the elephant was about to drink water. He was so angry that he attacked the elephant. He bit the elephant's trunk. The two of them bit each other and pulled with all their strength. The elephant's trunk was getting longer. The elephant was getting angry, so he shook the crocodile off. When the crocodile was thrown off, he sucked up all the water. He even sucked up the mud. He was angry, so he even sucked up the mud. The next day, he blew the mud toward the crocodile and the frog. So, both crocodile and frog had spots on their backs.
