She had anchored the end of her tail to a stout young palm tree.
And all the while Miss Crocodile calmly sat and smiled, and never budged.

Even after this, the creatures were eager for more, and Baby Jane thought of 'Hide-and-Seek.'
She would go and hide, and they would sit in a row with their eyes tight shut while they counted sixty.
