Read the story Easy English
Crocody was a little crocodile who lived by a big green river. He loved to play all day, but sometimes he cried fake tears. He just wanted his friends near him. When Crocody cried, Bunny hopped over quickly to ask if he was sad. Bear brought him a yellow flower to cheer him up. Crocody smiled, but then he cried again. Squirrel asked what was wrong, and Crocody pointed to a fallen leaf. Day after day, Crocody cried for clouds and stones. His friends brought him toys, but soon they felt tired.
One sunny morning, Crocody played with his favorite red bouncy ball. He loved his red ball very much. He threw the ball high into the air, but it bounced away into the river with a splash. His favorite ball was gone. Crocody felt truly sad. Big real tears fell down his face as he cried loudly.
Bunny, Bear, and Squirrel heard his real cry and ran to help him. Bunny asked if he was really sad, and Crocody sobbed that his red ball was gone. His friends saw his real tears and knew he was truly sad. Bear gave him a big warm hug, Bunny found a shiny stick, and Squirrel brought a pebble. Crocody felt much better and promised to be honest always.
