One sunny day, Kancil felt thirsty and wanted to cross a river to reach a tree with juicy fruits on the other side. However, the river was home to a group of crocodiles who were always hungry.

Kancil stood at the riverbank, thinking of a plan. Suddenly, he called out loudly, “Hey, Crocodiles! The King of the Jungle has sent me to count all the crocodiles in this river. He wants to reward you for being strong and brave!”

Hearing this, the crocodiles swam closer. Their leader said, “Really? What do we need to do?”

“Just line up across the river, from this bank to the other side. I’ll count you one by one,” replied Kancil with a smile.

The crocodiles, flattered by Kancil’s words, quickly formed a bridge with their bodies. Kancil hopped onto the first crocodile and began counting loudly, “One, two, three…” until he reached the last crocodile and safely crossed the river.

When he reached the other side, Kancil turned back and said, “Thank you for helping me cross the river! But there’s no reward—just my gratitude!”
