Why Crocodiles Are Afraid of Dayaks.

Once, there was a Dayak man who was a good hunter. One day, he met a big crocodile on the path. The crocodile said he was hungry. The Dayak man was scared, but he invited the crocodile to his house to eat jungle fowls with him.


The crocodile came and ate the food happily. Then he asked to stay longer. The Dayak man agreed. His wife even wanted the crocodile to marry their daughter. At first, the man said no, but later he agreed.


After the wedding, the crocodile became lazy. He didn’t help with anything and ate a lot. He scared people with his sharp teeth and took their food. Everyone started to hate him.


One day, while the crocodile was sleeping, the Dayak people attacked and killed him. When the king of crocodiles heard this, he said the Dayak were right. The crocodile didn’t follow Dayak customs.


From that time, crocodiles are afraid of the Dayak people and never hurt them.
