Several groups of animals gasp for water on a hot day in Africa. Yet they stand hesitantly at the edge of the pool. The flamingos don't understand that. As they prepare to enter the water, the other animals warn them about the eager crocodile. But the flamingos are not afraid. When the crocodile threatens them, they warn him that he will get hiccups if he eats them. That works, and that's why other animals also enter the water, meeting the nearsighted crocodile with exactly the same words. That works again and again, until the crocodile gets suspicious. A picture book about gaining courage and courage and about sharing.
