00:27Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water by Gemma Marino
00:35Once upon a time there was a little crocodile and this little crocodile didn't like water.
00:45He longed to play with his brothers and sisters but they were far too busy with swim club
00:51and this little crocodile didn't like swim club.
00:58What he really liked was climbing trees but nobody else did.
01:08It was lonely having nobody to play with so the little crocodile made a decision.
01:14He had saved up his money from the tooth fairy and he knew exactly what to buy with
01:19it.
01:23The next afternoon he took his new rubber ring over to the water.
01:28Today he would play with his brothers and sisters but he couldn't play ball or swim
01:38under water.
01:43And although climbing the ladder was fun, he just didn't want to jump.
01:53But he also didn't want to be alone so he decided to try one last time.
02:00One, two, two and a half, three!
02:10Oh my gosh, glug, help!
02:19This little crocodile definitely hated water.
02:23It was cold, it was wet and it was embarrassing.
02:31But then something strange happened.
02:34His nose began to tickle and the tickle grew and grew and grew until, ah-choo!
03:00This little crocodile didn't like water because he wasn't a crocodile at all.
03:09He was a dragon and this little dragon wasn't born to swim.
03:18He was born to breathe fire and he was born to fly.
