The girl and the crocodile

Once there was a girl named Anju lived in a house near the river. Her father is a fisherman and he caught fishes from the river and sold them in the near by village. Anju used to play near the banks of the river with her Teddy Bear. One day, when she was playing near, she saw some little crocodile stranded near a small rock. She was afraid to go near the crocodile. But, at the same time,she wanted to help  the crocodile. She called in a soft voice to wake him up. The crocodile could barely open his eyes. The crocodile said in a murmuring voice, "I am hungry!". She asked, "Do you eat fish?". The crocodile replied, "Yes!". So, she went inside her home, and brought some fish for the crocodile and threw it near the rock. The crocodile ate the fish she gave and gained some energy to get up. He thanked her and swam in the river. Days passed by, one day while playing, Anju's Teddy Bear fell into the river and was swept away from her. She wept to lost her friend whom she used to playwith. The  crocodile in the river saw the Teddy Bear floating in the river, he grabbed it and thought he would present this to Anju. He swam near Anju's house and kept the Teddy Bear near the bank. Anju came out of her house and became happy to see her friend Teddy Bear back again. She looked at the river and saw the crocodile waving at her. Anju realized that the crocodile has brought her Teddy bear back and thanked him.
