the world! Such is life!”
“It is totally unfair…”
The crocodile says, “Do you want to ask
someone if it isn't so?”
The boy looked at a bird on a nearby tree
and asked: “Is the crocodile justified? Is
this the way of the world – full of
injustice?”
The bird replied: “I spent my time and
efforts to build safe nests on the top of the
trees for protecting our eggs. Yet, snakes

The rabbit says, “You are stupid or what?
Have you forgotten how strong your tail

rabbit screamed to the boy, 'Run! Run!
Don't just stand there!' and the boy took to
