-Pilandok and the Rooster The rooster looking for food at the shore un- knowingly picked on the eye of the crocodile that ‘was resting with its body all covered with sand. Angered, the crocodile grabbed hold of the rooster with its teeth and was about to swallow the bird. Just in time, Pilandok arrived. The crocodile told him about what had happened and asked him to decide which of them was at fault. Pilandok cried, “Ply for you will be eaten!* “Eat for he will, fy!" The roosier instantly Mew and escaped, but the crocodile was 100 late. Pilandok left the crocodile who was very angry. One day the crocodile came to the cogon hut of Pilandok, who was out at the time, and waited for him there. When Pilandok returned, he paused at a distance and called, "My cogon hut, is some- one inside you?* He called again, "My cogon hut, if there is someone inside do not answer." The crocodile answered, "There's no one here.* Pilan- dok ran away and escaped. Another time, the crocodile went to Pilandok’s well and waited for him there. After a while, Pilandok arrived, carrying 2 bamboo tube used for carrying water. As Pilandok began to fill the bamboo tube with water, the crocodile grabbed Pilandok’s feet. Cried Pilandok, "Look out! my bamboo tube!” as he dropped the tube. The crocodile released Pilandok’s foot 10 catch the bamboo tube and Pilandok escaped. Pilandok was lying down one day thinking about his livelihood for he had nothing to eat. Later on he went to the shore to catch some shrimps. He waded up to a distant big stone and sat on it, then called, "Shrimp! shrimp! would you ‘not eat the snail?" But the shrimp went on with the current of the water. Irritated at that Pilandok said, “Ifyou will not call the shrimp it will stay near the shore.* ‘When the crocodile heard that Pilandok was in the water it went to him and swallowed him White he was in the crocodile’s stomach, Pilandok said, "Crocodile, I will not die if you throw me into the deep, but if you went to the shore and crushed me on the rock, then I would die." "Maybe Pilan- ok is right," said the crocodile, “for I can still hear him singing in my stomach." The crocodile turned around and went toward the shore where it voritted Pilandok. Pilandok ran away very fast.
