The Alpine Crocodile Myth
Once upon a time, Attila the Hun, Hannibal (the Cannibal), Genghis Khan and Rene Lacoste decided to cross the Alps, conquer Liechtenstein and rob the banks.
Attila took his Huns and Elephants, Hannibal his ferocious Cannibals, Genghis his terrifying Mongols and Rene his troop of Crocodiles. Enough to terrify anyone.
They set off, climbed, slipped and slithered up and down the icy slopes and nearly all of them perished. The Elephants went over a cliff like lemurs,the Cannibals feeding off Ötzi and his friends got terminal stomachache, The Mongoloids went surprisingly stupid due to the freezing cold and the howling winds (howling winds can do that to you), but Rene marched on with his stalwart troop of Crocs, contributing eggs to the local populace and creating recipes for Αυγολέμονο.
They never made it to Liechtenstein, the banks and all your investments were saved, because as they crossed the peak into Mittenwald, where the violin makers live, they were ambushed by an army WOLPERTINGERS (Wikipedia).
After they surrendered the Wolpertingers said "We will ask you a question, and if you get it right you will be transformed into white (and thus invisible Crocs) or if you get it wrong, we shall feed you to the sexist Αναστενάρηδες...
What could the poor Crocs do other than shiver in their shoes, and await the question?
"WHAT SHAPE EGGS DO WOLPERTINGERS LAY"?
Well, you all know the answer, but it took the Crocs some time to figure it out. "SQUARE !"
And ever since that day, Crocs are white and blend invisibly into the landscape, being most dangerous the higher the altitude, and live peacefully and intermarry with the Wolpertingers...
Και ζήσανε καλά κι εμείς καλύτερα.
