The spirit of the crocodile is the story of three children who were forced to go fishing by their stepfather. Unfortunately, they failed to get any fish and were scolded by their stepfather and did not get any food for the day. One of them went out fishing alone and after seven days, he plunged into the river and became a crocodile. As a crocodile, he vowed to destroy human beings who have made mistakes and committed sin.
