Carl the Crocodile 

Story By: Andrew Frinkle 

Carl was a great big old Crocodile. He was very long, longer than many cars! He had thick green skin. It was hard and bumpy, like tree bark. He had a long snout and many teeth. He was very large. He liked to eat lots of stuff. He wasn’t picky. He would eat fish or turtles. He would eat rabbits or birds. He would eat just about anything. If it came close to the water, he would eat it. He liked wet and hot places. He was always by the water. He liked mud and dirty water. It was easy to hide. That helped him catch food. He was not the nicest animal. He was greedy about food. Carl liked to sit around. He was actually very fast! He waited and waited. Then something came by and SNAP! He would grab it with his jaws. Carl was a great big old Crocodile!
