Crocodile happily lives in the jungle near a large river. He is never hungry, as he uses his cunning wits, strength, sharp teeth, and his wonderful tongue to devour animals that come to the river.
One day, a hungry Fox comes near the river and notices Crocodile surrounded by scraps of meat. When Fox approaches to ask about the meat, she sees Crocodile's beautiful tongue. Fox does not have a tongue and desperately wants a tongue as she cannot taste, turn her food, and chew properly. After staring at his tongue for a while, Fox begins to become envious of Crocodile's amazing tongue and thinks of a plan to trick Crocodile into giving Fox his tongue.
Fox knows that Crocodile is a fierce animal that is feared all over the jungle. Knowing this, Fox must try to deceive and persuade Crocodile to be able to have his wonderful tongue.
