The Bald Man ignored this remark and advanced slowly and cautiously towards the big crocodile who lay motionlessly on the piece of canvas. Meanwhile, the other captors backed away. The Bald Man hoped to distract the crocodile by talking to it in a disarming way. However, the Croc was not easily tricked. "Ah....... Bald Man. So you think to charm this big crocodile with your sweet words" she hissed dangerously. The Bald Man immediately froze in his tracks. He had never encountered a talking crocodile before. Once more the great crocodile began to hiss.... "Bald Man... Do you know that I am a very ancient crocodile. I was spawned in the Nile River at the time of Tutankhamen... and I have met many a Bald Man in my day. Many have boasted of how they will triumph over this ancient croc. How many....?.... I do not know... for I have lost track over the centuries. Perhaps as many as I have spiny scales on my tail". A thin trickle of cold sweat began to flow down the Bald Man's face. He had never imagined that this could be the Great Crocodile Goddess of the Nile. Fearfully, he laid down his roll of silver duct-tape on the ground before the goddess and bowed his head slowly three times in obeisance. "Hmmmmm.... yesssssss..... so you know of the Great Crocodile Goddess. That is well. You are a fortunate man, indeed. On any other occasion, I would have snapped up you and your roll of duct-tape as quickly as a 12 year old snaps up a Quarter-Pounder With Cheese. But I must not waste time on such "small fry" while on a mission of such great importance that I dare not take the time for a snack and a snooze". The great crocodile blinked her eyes slowly, then yawned ... terrorizing everyone with a fearsome display of her massive glittering teeth. With a slight curling grin, the croc licked and smacked her teeth slightly while staring intently at the Bald Man, then hissed... "You are free to go........thisssssssss time.... but I have a feeling we shall meet again. Perhaps next time you will no be sssssssssso lucky...." The immense croc turned and lumbered off into the cool, inviting darkness of the underbrush.....
