And then a squeaky whisper of a voice said, ‘I can get you a crocodile.’

The voice came from the small, red-haired zookeeper sitting by himself in the corner.

Everyone stared at Winston Splinter.

‘You can?’ Mr Cave said, picking some tobacco from his teeth.

‘Oh yes,’ Winston said. ‘I work at the zoo, you see. And there’s a crocodile there. It’s only a baby. Bright green and the size of a shoe. I could easily sneak it out for you. At least, I think I could. No! I’m sure I could! I’m positive I could! I’ll put it in my pocket and you can have it for a whole night. Will that give you enough time to paint it for your sign?’

Mr Cave considered for a while, puffing his cigar. Finally, he replied, ‘Yes. I’m sure that’s enough time.’

‘Good,’ Winston said, getting to his feet and walking to the bar. ‘Tomorrow night do you?’

‘Perfect!’ Mr Cave exclaimed. ‘Let me get you a drink.’

‘Lemonade, please!’

That night Winston went home and kissed Wendy on the cheek.

‘I think I’ve made a friend,’ he said.
