Once upon a time, a crocodile and a dolphin were having a conversation by the riverbank. The crocodile boasted to the dolphin that he was the strongest animal in the jungle. The dolphin laughed and told the crocodile that there was an elephant who was much stronger. The crocodile didn't believe it, so they both went to find the elephant.

Along the way, they met a bear who said he was also looking for the elephant. The three of them continued on their journey and found the elephant drinking from a lake. The crocodile challenged the elephant to a strength competition, but the elephant said he wasn't interested.

Just then, a bird flew by and announced that there was a fish in the lake that was so big, even an eagle couldn't carry it. The elephant, bear, and crocodile all wanted to see the fish, so they went to the lake. When they got there, they found the fish, but it was guarded by a fox.

The fox said that whoever could catch the fish could have it. The bear tried first, but he was too slow. The elephant tried next, but he was too big. Finally, the crocodile tried, but he was too clumsy. The dolphin came up with a plan, and using his speed and agility, he managed to catch the fish and give it to the others.

They all sat down and had a picnic, sharing the fish and laughing about their adventure. From that day on, the crocodile, dolphin, elephant, bear, bird, fish, and eagle all became friends and went on many more adventures together.

The end.
