We read the story Monkey and Crocodile. We looked at the characters and wrote some adjectives to describe them.
We looked online to see if there were any YouTube videos about the same story and there is!
Some parts of the story were the same and some parts were different. When different people retell the same story it never stays the same.
Here are some excerpts from our retelling.
Crocodile was annoyed about only eating boring fish. He wanted to eat a monkey! - Lole
Monkey said " You eat me...You miss out the best part" - Cullam
Monkey jumped on crocodiles back.- Tamihana
" I will help you get across the river" said crocodile.- Karenna
We know the story is FICTION but Hakopa and Shaydon wanted to find out some real FACTS. Did you know...

They have the strongest bite in the world.
