Funny little story about "crocodile tears" (les larmes de crocodile). What are crocodile tears, a kid asks, and then a long story about how to find out: go and fetch a crocodile, bring it home, treat it like a member of the family, and then watch it still do what crocodiles do -- bite someone. When it says it's sorry, that's crocodile tears! I like this one a lot for its sly and absurd humor.
