Meeting in the park
Al and Victor live in the small but busy town of Crocodilia. They are both 8 year old crocodiles who go to the same school. Since they met two years ago, they have become the best of friends, even though they have very different personalities. Al is very optimistic and imaginative, but he often acts impulsively without thinking of the consequences of what he does. Victor, on the other hand, thinks a lot before he does anything and is much more careful and craftier than Al.
Today, coming out of school, they decide to meet up as usual and play together, when they have finished their homework. The weather isn’t cold at this time of year, so, at about 5 p.m. they get on their bikes and meet on the bench in the park near Al’s house.
