《不喜欢水的鳄鱼》The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water 附原文

Once upon a time, there was a little crocodile. And this little crocodile didn't like water. He longed to play with his brothers and sisters. But they were far too busy with swim club. And this little crocodile didn't like swim club. What he really liked was climbing trees! But nobody else did. It was lonely having nobody to play with. So the little crocodile made a decision. He had saved up his money from the tooth fairy, and he knew exactly what to buy with it. The next afternoon he took his new rubber ring over to the water. Today he would play with his brothers and sisters. But he couldn't play ball. Or swim underwater. And although climbing the ladder was fun, he just didn't want to JUMP. But he didn't want to be alone. So he decided to try, one last time... One, twooo, two and a half, THREEEEE! SPLOSH GLUG HELP! This little crocodile definitely hated water. It was cold, it was wet, and it was embarrassing. But then something strange happened. His nose began to tickle, and the tickle grew, and grew, and grew, until... AAAACHOOOOO! This little crocodile didn't like water, because he wasn't a crocodile at all! He was a DRAGON. And this little dragon wasn't born to swim. He was born to breathe fire. And he was born to fly!
