What does a crocodile have to do with Reiki?  Nothing directly, but after reading the blog, I hope it will bring a smile to your face, just like a wonderfully relaxing Reiki session.

This is the verbatim answer given by a Grade 5 pupil – write an essay on “What is a crocodile?”

The crocodile is specially built so long, because the flatter the better swimmer.  At the front of the crocodile is the head.  The head exists almost only of teeth.  Behind the crocodile the tail grows.  Between the head and the tail is the crocodile.  A crocodile without a tail is called a rotwieler.  A crocodile’s body is covered with handbag material.

He can throw his tail off if he gets a fright but it doesn’t happen much because a crocodile is scared of nothing.  A crocodile stays under the water because if you were so ugly, you would also stay under the water.  It is good that a crocodile stays under the water, because a person gets such a big fright if a crocodile catches you that he first has to rinse you off before he can eat you.

A crocodile isn’t hardly as dangerous as people say he is, except if he catches you.  The longer he bites you, the more it hurts.  Very old crocodiles suck their people and buck dead, that they catch.

If you eat him, he is a crocosatie.  A crocodile did not learn to swim with his arms so he uses his tail.  The little brother of the crocodile is a lizard.  The slow sister of the crocodile is a chameleon.   The gay brother of the crocodile is a daffodil.  And the crocodile also has a dead brother, the frikkidel.

It is always good to see the lighter side of life!
