Holiday with crocodiles & fizzy drinks under the umbrella tree
We have a great time chilling on Moyo’s back under a huge parasol. “Actually, this parasol is an umbrella acacia,” explains Moyo. “A cold sparkling lemonade would be delicious now,” says Squack as he rummages around my bag. Indeed, he pulls out two fizzy drinks. It feels like a holiday. “How long will we stop?”, I ask. “As you may have noticed, it’s getting quite hot. We’ll wait here until it cools off a bit and when we get thirsty we’ll go down to the river,” answers Moyo. “Are we going for a swim then? Great!” “No, we aren’t, Tata. In this river live the biggest crocodiles of Africa. Only their eyes and nostrils stick out of the water. They’re lying in wait for us, hoping we’ll go too far into the water. You have to be extremely careful. That’s why we always go for a drink in a group and try to warn one another in case of a crocodile attack…” Curious to find out how the story continues? This is an abstract of Tata&Squack – The Big Journey. More information about Tata&Squack in the twikga books portfolio…
