Abstract

en_US
This story is like The Brahmin and the Tiger. Juan meets a crocodile tied to a tree. The crocodile promises a ring for his freedom. Juan agrees. Freed, the crocodile invites Juan to jump on his back to get the ring. But in the middle of the river, he announces that he will eat Juan now. In answer to Juan's claims that it is not fair, the crocodile laughs and answers that most boys never have the chance to be eaten by a crocodile! They ask passers-by, like an old basket and then an old hat floating down the river, if it is right. Finally they ask a monkey in a banana tree. The monkey shouts back twice I can't hear you. Come a little closer. Juan jumps to shore and is saved. The monkey asks him to have his father plant more banana trees. He also requests that, when he sees him in the trees, he not to tell on him. The pages are brittle, especially from some water damage.
