It was a long time ago. In those days, the crocodile was very afraid of white fish. He tried to stay away from her, but one day they finally met.
The crocodile stepped aside.
The white fish told him:
-You are always afraid of me. Why? Swim closer, look into my mouth!
The crocodile became even more frightened.
- You are such a big fish! - he said. - Everyone tells me that you will eat me. That's why I'm afraid of you.
- Don't be afraid, I don't have teeth!
“Open your mouth wider,” said the crocodile. “I’ll look from afar.”
The fish opened its mouth. The crocodile looked from a distance. Then he approached, looked into the fish’s mouth and saw that it really had no teeth.
“Now I won’t be afraid of you,” he said to the fish. And they swam further together. So they swam and swam, swam and swam, and then the crocodile ate the fish.
