There lived a crocodile in the River of Ganga. He was strong and young yet no one was scared of him or showed him any respect. The reason was that he ate only from the offerings of the pilgrimage. It was much easier for him compared to hunting wild animals. So, Deer, rabbits and foxes were happy from him.


But the community of crocodiles that lived near by despised him. He barely gave ears to them though. His life was more comfortable and fulfilling than them. The crocodile felt others are jealous of his good luck. For years he continued the same way and grew fat and week. Sadly a drought hit the Ganga same year and all its bank dried. And so the pilgrimage to didn't turned up that year. The crocodile waited but the crocodile long wait gradually became disturbing.


He realised that if he could not acquire food for himself he would likely die. Crocodile realised His mistake of not being bold and hunt for himself. Now he was to weak to hunt also. He finally ask for help but none turned up for him. He was luck though A poor Brahmin watched him dying and nursed him back to life. After sometime in the month of Sravan The crocodile was revitalized to his normal composure. Ganga also received heavy rainfall during that month and start flowing back at its fullest. He decided it's time to go back as he have learned from his mistake and later he thanked the poor Brahmin for helping him survive. He went back to the river and fend his own hunt thereafter.
