Says the snake to the crocodile:
Because you're so big and strong,
Why are you crying then?
Maybe you're in trouble.
The crocodile answers the snake:
Here's the thing that confuses me about you:
Why do you keep hissing?
As if you were not a snake but a silent mouse?
I hiss - the snake replies,
So as not to attract the enemy in vain.
And I might miss my prey,
If I make a lot of noise.
But you, my friend, answer me:
You're silent, you don't know how to roar,
Why are you crying?
When do you eat your prey?
***
The crocodile said nothing,
Just swam to the other side.
So the snake and the crocodile were left alone.
And they're not friends with anyone.
