Synopsis
Achilles, a young crocodile, is fed up with his daily diet of bananas. He declares he wants to eat a child instead. His parents offer him sausages and chocolate cake, but Achilles refuses. Venturing to the river, he encounters a little girl. Attempting to pounce, he is surprised when she picks him up, tickles his tummy, and tosses him back into the water. Realising he's too small, Achilles returns home, determined to grow bigger by eating more bananas.
