=//**Kanchil and the Crocodile**//= =//************************************//=

1. The story is set in a forest but doesnt say where in Indonesia. 2. There are two main characters: There is Kanchil; Kanchil is a Mousedeer who always tries to get drinks from the river. And the second is Crocodile; Crocodile lives in the river and often tries to catch Kanchil. 3. Kanchil normally drinks in a water hole but the water holes have all dried up so he decides to go and have a drink at the river, Kanchill knows its dangerous to drink at the river because of the crocodile who lives there, but he takes the risk. Kanchil leans down and starts drinking from the water hole but then he sees something in the water he wonders if its a log... or a crocodile, so he says "if you are a crocodile don't answer me, but if you are a log, answer me", the log answers and then kanchil knows that he is a crocodile; because logs dont talk. Then Kanchil ran away as fast as he could. Two weeks later he decided to try his luck again and went to take a bath in the river. Kanchil was unwise, and forgot about the danger. He went to the river and started drinking to his heart content. He grabbed and stick and started splashing the water with it in pleasure. He made so much noise that he woke the Crocodile up, all of a sudden he felt sharp teeth go into his leg it hurt him so much; but then he grabbed the stick and put it in the water to make the crocodile think his stick was his leg and let go of his leg. It worked, Kanchil was quite pleased with himself and he said, "Thats just a log! You stupid crocodile!", and ran of saying, "Catch me if you can". 4. The moral is that Kanchill is much much smarter than the crocodile. And that to be wise in situations can save your life. 5. The things that are different about this story are that it has animals in it, and the way the animals are. 6.I would call this story a folk tale because it could be real but it might not be real.
