उत्तर
Golu reached the edge of the Limpopo river. He saw a crocodile on its bank. The crocodile winked at Golu. Golu asked him if he was the crocodile. The crocodile raised his tail out of the mud. He was surprised why Golu asked him such a question. He shed crocodile tears. He asked Golu to come close. He would not answer the personal question. He would whisper the answer to his question. He would tell him what he had for dinner in a low tone. Golu put his head down close to the crocodile's snout. The crocodile caught Golu by the nose. He declared that he would eat Golu that day, Golu screamed with fear and pain.
