The animals tell him that it is a horrible thing to do but he tries to use his tricks to eat the tasty children. However, everytime he tries, the animals of the jungle save the children and finally a giant elephant finishes the crocodile off by swinging him around in the air by his tail and letting him go until he flies into the sky and crashes head into the hot sun.
