Discover the fascinating relationship between crocodiles and birds as they work together to keep each other healthy. Perfect for young readers!
Once upon a time, there was a big crocodile who lived in a warm, sunny river. This crocodile had lots of sharp teeth, and he wanted to keep them clean. But how? One day, he noticed that some little birds were flying around. The birds were tiny and colorful, flapping their wings happily.
The crocodile had a clever idea! He opened his huge mouth wide and let the birds come inside. "Come on in, little birds! I need your help!" he said.
The birds were not afraid of the crocodile at all. They loved to help! They hopped into the crocodile’s mouth and started to peck at his teeth. "Peck, peck, peck!" went the birds as they cleaned all the bits of food stuck between the crocodile's sharp teeth. "Thank you, my bird friends! You are doing a wonderful job!" the crocodile said.
In return, the birds got a nice snack of little bugs that lived in the crocodile's mouth. It was a win-win situation! The crocodile got clean teeth, and the birds got tasty food. This special friendship showed everyone how different animals can help each other!
So remember, sometimes friends help each other in surprising ways, just like the crocodile and the birds!
