Contents of Puppet Resource Box: Puppets (3)
1. Crocodile
2. Wise woman
3. Foolish woman
Props 3 baby crocodiles and coins
Synposis: Foolish woman and the crocodile: This is based on a Philippine folk talk. The foolish woman wants to be as rich as her kind neighbor. The kind neighbor was asked by the mother crocodile to croc-sit her babies while she went for a hunt. The kind woman had treated the babies just like human ones. She sang songs and rocked them to sleep. When the crocodile came back she gave the kind woman much gold. The foolish woman also decided that she could earn her riches by croc-sitting the babies. However, because she was a greedy and unkind woman she spanked the baby crocodiles and sang nasty songs to them. The babies fell asleep because of fear. Seeing this, the Mother Crocodile rewards the foolish woman in the same manner as she had treated the babies. Instead of receiving gold, a large spider chased the foolish woman away.
