This short story is all about friendship. It underlines the importance of friendship to all of us, especially to the young ones. It seeks to remind them to always keep the friends they make throughout their life as very dear 'treasures' that should be protected and nourished; and that one should never let anything spoil friendship. The story tells us about Sobeck, a young crocodile living in the lake of a Pharaoh, together with three other young crocodiles, and how their friendship was threatened. The setting is Ancient Egypt, where crocodiles were sacred, and to whom ancient Egyptians gave the name Sobeck (which we borrowed in the Story ), and erected some temples for them.
