Once upon a time, there was a dog named Buddy who loved to play with his animal friends. One day, while playing near a river, he met a crocodile who was feeling sad. Buddy asked what was wrong and the crocodile said he was hungry but all he could catch were boring chickens.

Buddy had an idea! He invited the crocodile to come to his farm where they met a cow named Moo and a bird named Chirpy. Together they came up with a plan to trick the chicken into thinking the crocodile was no longer hungry.

The next day, the group put on a show for the chicken where Buddy dressed up as a cat and chased Chirpy around the farm. The chicken was so amused that she didn't notice when the crocodile snuck up and tickled her! From then on, the chicken let the crocodile play with her instead of being his lunch.

And so, the dog, the crocodile, the chicken, the cow and the bird all lived happily ever after, playing together and having fun on the farm.
