Sunshine.”“How?” Asked Washy. “I’m holding your jaws closed.”“I don’t need jaws to speak.” The crocodile sniffed. “We crocodiles have been around for a long time. I’m speaking in your mind.” He flicked his tail. “And by the way—““What?” Said Washy, and released his grip in surprise. He didn’t know that crocodiles could speak.
