As a small child, I sat still, wide-eyed, following every movement my granddad made, entranced by every change of intonation as he regaled my younger brother and me with a story about the most magnificent adventure. My granddaddy had been in the depths of the jungle, machete in hand, hacking back leaves to stop them from whacking into his face as he trudged, dripping with sweat, through the dark, abundant foliage. He stopped. Frozen. He’d heard a noise—a splash. There must be water nearby. Water – how he needed it; his canteen was down to its last tepid drop. He sniffed the air. He turned, and there, through the leaves and vines, he saw a pool of water. Rapidly, he stumbled towards it, throwing himself onto his knees into its wet blessed relief. He cupped some water in his hands, ready to splash his grimy, sweat-drenched face. But danger not relief was in store for my granddaddy. A crocodile! A crocodile in the pool of water. A crocodile with its beady eyes fixed on my granddaddy ready to attack. My granddaddy found himself in a wrestling match. A wrestling match to the death. A wrestling match with one of the most feared creatures in the jungle. Thanks to the strength, bravery, and training, my granddad had had, he was able to wrestle it to the ground underneath him. It whipped its tail and shifted my granddad’s weight. All of a sudden, its wide mouth, with its gleaming, sharp teeth was ajar. There was only one thing my granddad could do. He shoved his arm into the depths of the crocodile’s rancid body, grabbed the end of its tail, and pulled it inside out! Victory was his!
