00:00In the heart of a lush, wild jungle, where vines curled like serpents and birds sang like wind
00:06chimes, there was a murky, green swamp, home to the fiercest of all, Koro, the crocodile.
00:13With sharp jaws and a reputation that made fish flee and turtles hide, Koro ruled the water.
00:20Conflict followed him like a shadow, not because he loved to fight, but because he never learned
00:25to live any other way. Every creature feared him. Otters whispered, frogs leapt away at his approach,
00:33and even other crocodiles avoided eye contact. But deep inside, Koro was tired. He sat on a mossy
00:39rock one evening, watching dragonflies skim the water. His reflection shimmered beneath him.
00:45For the first time, Koro didn't see a mighty predator. He saw loneliness.
00:50Is this what power feels like? He whispered. Why does it feel so empty?
00:55That night, as the jungle slept beneath a silver moon, Koro made a decision. He would leave the
01:01swamp. He would find peace. And not just for himself, but for every creature torn apart by
01:06fear and fighting. Koro left his territory quietly. He visited a pond where frogs quarreled over space.
01:14Rather than snapping or hissing, he gently nudged a lily pad toward one of them and said,
01:19There's room for all of you, if you share. The frogs blinked in disbelief. The once terrifying
01:25crocodile was kind. Further down the river, a group of turtles and ducks argued about nesting spots.
01:33Koro didn't roar. He listened. How about you take the bank? He told the turtles. And the ducks can have
01:39the reeds. Both are safe and close. The animals stared. Never before had a crocodile help them
01:46compromise. Word of Koro's change spread like sunlight through trees. Some animals still doubted.
01:52He's pretending, growl growled a jaguar. It's a trick, hissed a snake. Crocodiles don't change,
01:59muttered an old monkey. But slowly, they began to see it. Koro helped a stuck hippo get out of the mud.
02:05He rescued a drowning squirrel swept away by current. He even gave up his favorite sunny rock so a turtle
02:11could warm her eggs. He was still strong, still feared. But now he was respected. Not for his
02:19power, but for his peaceful heart. One evening, dark clouds loomed. The river rose. A flood threatened
02:26the entire jungle. Animals ran, nests fell, and panic spread. But then, a roar louder than thunder.
02:34It was Koro. Follow me, he called out. I know the high ground. Dozens of animals followed him up the
02:41ridge, slipping, stumbling, but safe. When they reached the top, the sky cleared, and a massive
02:48rainbow stretched across the jungle. The once feared crocodile stood at the edge of the cliff,
02:54soaked but proud, eyes filled with gentle tears. I used to chase fear, Koro said quietly. But today,
03:01I chased peace. And it led me here, with all of you. From that day on, the swamp wasn't feared.
03:07It became a place of gathering. Where turtles sunbathed beside frogs. Where otters and ducks
03:12played. And where even jaguars came to drink without growling. And at the center of it all was Koro.
03:18The crocodile who had once brought fear, but now brought unity. The jungle had found a new kind of
03:24king. Not with sharp teeth, but with a soft heart. Moral of story is that peace begins with a
03:31brave heart. And even the fiercest creatures can become heroes of harmony.
