        The story begins in Africa in a large, deep, muddy river, where the big crocodile (the title character) is telling a slightly smaller crocodile, called the "not-so-big one", that he wants to leave his dirty home behind and eat some real human children for his lunch. The small crocodile objects, because real children taste "tough and chewy and nasty and bitter" in his opinion compared to real fish, and because of what happened the very last time the large crocodile ever tried to eat real human children. The bigger crocodile leaves the big, deep, muddy river anyway, and announces his intention to first visit Humpy-Rumpy the hippopotamus on the river bank, then Trunky the elephant in the jungle, then Muggle Wump the monkey, and finally Roly-Poly Bird in his orange tree. Humpy-Rumpy suspects he's "going to do something horrid." Grinning, the big crocodile responds: "I'm going to fill my hungry empty tummy with something yummy yummy yummy yummy!". The four jungle animals are all feeling horrified and disgusted with the big crocodile, thereby insulting him on the spot, hoping that he will fail miserably and will himself be killed permanently, after which the reptile himself briefly and unsuccessfully attacks first Muggle-Wump the Monkey in his tree (filled with nuts) and Roly Poly Bird himself in his (newly-built) nest.
