In the heart of a distant swamp, there lived a massive and formidable crocodile. This swamp was his kingdom, and he ruled over it with authority. But even the mighty have their struggles, and the crocodile was no exception.

The crocodile often had food remnants stuck between his teeth. It caused him great discomfort, making him grumpy and irritable. The other animals steered clear of him when his teeth ached, fearing his wrath.

One day, a tiny bird overheard the crocodile's grumbling. This bird, known as the toothpick bird, had a knack for finding and removing food remnants. It saw an opportunity to help and flew towards the crocodile.

The toothpick bird, with its slender and sturdy beak, skillfully removed the food remnants from the crocodile's teeth. The relief that washed over the crocodile was immense, and he felt immediate gratitude towards the tiny bird.

The crocodile, in his gratitude, promised to protect the toothpick bird from any predator that dared to threaten it. This was a significant promise, for the crocodile was the unchallenged ruler of the swamp.

One day, a fierce eagle descended upon the swamp. It spotted the tiny toothpick bird and, seeing a potential meal, spread its massive wings in preparation to pounce.
