In a lake, there lived a crocodile. It was getting old and now its difficult for
it to hunt down preys like earlier.
So,, it thought of a plan. It contacted the fox and said that it is appointing fox
as its minister.
From now onwards,, work of fox is to bring a new animal everyday as food
for crocodile.
After killing the animal, both fox and crocodile will share the food equally
between them.
Fox readily agreed to the offer.
Fox decided to start the work immediately. On the way, it found a rabbit
sitting.
By seeing the rabbit, fox went near of it and said King of lakes wants to
have a word with it.
Hearing that, rabbit was surprised and said it don't know any king of lakes
and there's nothing to talk about.
Fox was disappointed.
Next day, fox thought of a plan. It said to crocodile to lay down under the
shade of tree as if it is dead.
When crocodile did like that, fox put some flowers on body of crocodile and
went searching for rabbit.
When fox found rabbit, it started crying and said that king of lakes is dead
and atleast now rabbit can come to pay last respect.
Rabbit agreed and went with fox.
There it saw crocodile laying down.
Rabbit felt something fishy.
Rabbit said to fox that it has heard dead crocodiles wag their tails. But
here dead king is not wagging its tail.
Hearing that, crocodile which is acting as dead, suddenly started to wag its
tail.
Seeing that, rabbit escaped from the place.
Fox vowed not to work with foolish crocodile any more.
