there was a very old crocodile so old
that he had witnessed the building of
the
pyramids but now he was suffering from
rheumatism and no longer able to catch
his
food the quality of his diet was
deteriorating by the
[Applause]
day in desperation he decided to eat one
of his
[Applause]
family what's he munching on now the old
Croc does get on my nerves thought the
old crocodile youngest
granddaughter you rotten Beast you at my
son didn't
you although his thousands of years of
longevity entitled him to much respect
the family decided he would have to be
put down
however no one could make even a dent in
his thick aged
skin and so they decided to hold another
family
meeting unable to Bear the disrespect of
his family the old crocodile said
goodbye to the Nile
one day he went out into the
sea he felt lighter somehow and the
salty taste was quite
Pleasant the salt water and the sun did
wonders for his
rheumatism hello big
lizard hello big spider
I'm not a spider I'm an
octopus then hi octopus say you do have
a lot of
legs normally an octopus has eight legs
but I have
12 have you tried to count them of
course I can count to
12 the octopus treated her new friend to
a variety of fish that she caught just
for him
with 12 legs surely she won't notice if
I eat just
one she might even be lighter on her
feet with less body weight
[Applause]
good morning Mr Crocodile it's time to
get
up good morning Miss octopus how are
your
legs very well thank you did you count
them yes of course all 12 of
them per perfect she can't count thought
the
Crocodile by the way there's a sea
that's even better than this for your
rheumatism shall I take you there let's
go right
away the two of them swam through the
sez canal and into the Red Sea
before dark they reached a small
uninhabited
Island the crocodile asked the octopus
to bring him some
dinner the octopus was exhausted from
the heat but managed to must enough
energy to catch some fish for
him the greedy crocodile was well
satisfied but when night fell he
couldn't restrain himself from eating
another of the octopus's
legs the crocodile ate the fish that she
brought every day and helped himself to
a leg every night just one no
more since he could count up to one he
suddenly realized that there was only
one leg
left is that it I thought 12 legs was a
bit more than
that there was a terrible struggle going
going on in the crocodile's heart his
love for the octopus was
twofold on the one hand was the love for
her kindness her modesty and her
knowledge on the other was the love for
her juicy
legs that night the octopus lost her
last leg
crocodile I think I can't
move it's so hot and we've been here
quite a long time
now yes it's been 12
days I thought you couldn't count well
that's right I can't can I I must have
made a
mistake you know you've got
rheumatism when mine was bad I couldn't
feel my
legs it was almost as if they'd been cut
off
it's funny I feel no sensation in my
legs if I couldn't count or didn't know
that I have all 12 legs I would think
they were all
gone well don't worry about it anyway
today I'll go and catch the fish
the octopus slept happily reassured by
the crocodile's
kindness but that night the crocodile
was burning with desire to devour his
love
[Applause]
she tasted absolutely
marvelous but when the crocodile had
finished eating her he wept bitter tears
of remorse
alone on the Rock the crocodile soon
became
bored he tried to think up games to
amuse himself like taking big breaths
through his mouth and blowing the air
out of his
nose or picking his teeth with
Fishbones or holding big shells up to
his ear to hear the sound of the
ocean but even so he was bored he really
regretted having polished off his
lover the one thing that gave him any
pleasure at all was remembering how
wonderful she
tasted why do I have to stay
here I could just go home to
Egypt why didn't I think of that
before the crocodile pondered the
question for a long time but eventually
made his departure without giving
himself an
[Applause]
answer they are funny they seem to be
scared of
something ah they seem to remember me
but I can't see why they make so much
fuss about me eating one silly little
Croc the crocodile got really tired of
being by himself and finally decided
that starvation was a better
option he lay down on the dry mud and
waited for
death I think I must be dead
I seem to be in crocodile
heaven now what is going on here
[Music]
[Music]
after eating a girl the crocodile became
sleepy as usual
[Music]
[Music]
the crocodile installed on an altar and
given a young Maiden to eat every day is
alive to this
day but he hasn't a clue why all the
other crocodiles ran away from him or
why humans adore him so
much the old crocodile is a modest
fellow and if he found out the truth it
would surely make him even more modest
because the truth is the hot water from
the Red Sea has turned his body as red
as a
lobster for
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
