One morning, Pilandok was aked by his mother to picked some mangoes. He

bridge in that river was broken and the only way now is to cross the river with many
crocodiles. Pilandok spoke to the leader of the crocodiles if he could pass to the river. “NO”
roared the alpha crocodile. We eat anyone who passes here in the river. The crocodiles
seemed to be hungry. Pilandok thought of a wise way. “May I Count all of you?” said Pilandok
to the crocodiles. Then he step on the back of the crocodiles as he count them until he
reached on the other side. Pilandok went straight to the mango trees and harvested plenty of
them. Meanwhile, the crocodiles have noticed that they have been tricked by Pilandok so now
thay are patiently waiting of Pilandok to come back. After a while, Pilandok came back with
his mangoes. He told the crocodiles that he will give them some his mangoes. “We want your
liver” , replied by the alpha crocodile. “But I have left my liver in our house, can you let me
passed first and then I will get my liver and give it to you”. The crocodile agreed to this and
they let Pilandok to cross the river by stepping again on their back. Pilandok acted that he had
come back from his home. “This is my liver catch this”, said Pilandok to the crocodile. The
crocodile quickly open his mouth and caught on his mouth a piece of wood that struck his
