Crocodile

Buck installed a crocodile in the local pond.
A few days passed.
An old lady came to feed the ducks.
She dangled some bread,
Which you shouldn't be feeding to ducks by the way,
But none came.
This would be because of the crocodile.
The old lady briefly learned of the crocodile in the pond.
