A crocodile in clothes and a hat walked the streets of Petrograd and spoke Turkish. Seeing the fountain, the crocodile took off his outer clothing and dived into the water. The inhabitants of the city saw how different he was from them and at first they were frightened, and then they began to laugh at him and call the police. A crocodile in the crowd accidentally swallowed a dog and a policeman, thereby frightening all the people.
