In a lush green jungle, there lived a friendly crocodile named Carl. Carl loved to splash in the water and play with his friends. One sunny day, while floating on his back, Carl noticed something shiny at the bottom of the river.

“Oh, what is that?” Carl said with a curious smile.

He dove down, but oh dear! A big, heavy rock blocked the shiny thing. Carl tried to push it, but it wouldn't budge.

“Help! Help!” cried a little bird named Bella flying by.

“What's wrong, Bella?” Carl asked.

“I lost my favorite shiny button! It's down there!”

Carl thought and thought. “Let's work together!” he said.

Bella flew high and pecked the rock gently. “Push, Carl!” she chirped.

With all his strength, Carl pushed the rock. It rolled away!

“Yay!” cheered Bella.

Together, they found the shiny button. “Thank you, Carl!” Bella sang.

“Friends help each other,” Carl smiled.

And from that day, Carl and Bella had many happy adventures, learning that teamwork is magic.
