Golu's fear for crocodile
Still, he sat down on the bank and informed the crocodile that it (the crocodile) was the one Golu had been waiting to meet for days because he was curious bout what it would eat for supper. The crocodile took advantage of Golu's curiosity.
For the third time, the crocodile enticed him closer, offering to whisper the answer to Golu's query. The innocent Golu put his confidence in the crocodile and approached it. But, the crocodile suddenly grabbed Golu by the nose as he lowered his head near the crocodile's snout. After that, the crocodile informed the young elephant that he would be eating a baby elephant for dinner. Golu cried, begging the crocodile to release him, but the crocodile refused. Golu's curiosity and innocence eventually brought him into trouble.
