Flower and Crocodile

In the rainforest, where palm trees grow to the sky,
Treacherous Crocodile lived, he was famous for his malice.
He brought fear and horror to all inhabitants of the forest,
Cowards and daredevils were afraid of him, he spared no one.

In the same forest, among all the colorful beauty,
Small Flower bloomed, which was famous for its modesty.
He was tiny and pale, but admired everyone with his kindness,
And with his spiritual sympathy he warmed everyone around.

Crocodile looked contemptuously at Flower,
He considered him a weak and insignificant creature.
He could not understand what power lurks in Flower,
He didn't know what true kindness could do.

When a violent tropical downpour began in the forest,
Crocodile almost died, suddenly bogged down in quagmire.
He fell into a swamp where there was no escape,
Only little Flower extended a helping hand to him.

Flower helped Crocodile get out of swamp
And gave him hope for a new happy life.
Since then, Crocodile has sincerely changed,
He realized that kindness is a great and invincible force.

Crocodile apologized to Flower and corrected all his mistakes,
In peace and harmony they began to live in a tropical forest.
And one day, when Crocodile fell asleep in a dry meadow,
Flower gently wrapped around his neck and suffocated him.

It was foolish to wait for Crocodile to change his mood again,
But the main thing is that his image began to improve,
And animals in the forest stopped being afraid of Crocodile,
So, the price of his skin on the market began to decline,
Soon it would cost no more than the skin of old hamster.
In short, Flower could not wait any longer.
