    Describe the grandeur of the giant reptile. OR
    Where did the huge crocodile live? Where did it come to rest?
    Ans : The huge crocodile lived in the deep black water. It was twice the length of a tall man. It had not to hide. It came to rest in the glassy shallows, among logs with its eyes and nostrils raised above the water. Its tail had irresistible power to move with a vast force in the water. Its mouth ran almost the whole length of its head. It lay closed with an evil smile and where the yellow underside came up to it, it was green in colour.
