This is the story of a crocodile who thought she was a child. One day she meets Jo, whom she scares at first, but they quickly become friends. Odile would like to have hair, so Jo brings her a wig and they have a great time together. Until the day Odile can't help but catch a seagull in flight and crunch it. Jo is horrified. Odile is sad to have disappointed him. She reflects: Jo is a real child, she is a real crocodile. They are different. You have to admit it and be happy with what you are. They become friends again.
