Once there was an orange. He went to the zoo and there was an enormous crocodile. The orange was so frightened he turned into a pepper!  He walked home and he said to his mum when he got there, somehow I feel strange and she said “that’s because you are a pepper”.

The next day his friend cucumber came to the zoo and when he saw  exactly the same crocodile he turned all soft. So the orange put some pepper on him and he turned into an orange, then the crocodile turned into a cucumber.

Walter the crocodile was sitting by the river bank on treasure island where the mud was lovely and soft.  He forgot all about what he was suppose to be doing as he relaxed staring up at the bright orange sun that was shaped like a pepper.  Slowly he rolled over and slid down into the muddy water and went for a long swim.  Suddenly he came up to the surface and remembered that he was meant to be being scary so he crept up behind a group of fish and he ate them !
