Chapter 1: Who Are the Gobbos?
A long time ago, in the prehistoric age, far off at sea where ships and boats made by humans have never gone, was the Gobbo Archipelago. The Gobbo Archipelago was said to be made up of four islands, but according to legend, there existed a mysterious fifth. No one knows why each island had a completely different climate. On the first island, nature was especially advanced. The second was covered with ice and snow. The third island was desert, and the last one was possessed by a mad wizard, Baron Dante. All of these islands had names. The first island was Green Island; the second, White Island; the third, Yellow Island; and the fourth, Black Island. The first three islands were occupied by the gobbos.
Gobbos were round with large eyes and long, brown fur, and they measured no more than two feet tall. They had small hands and feet. They were peaceful animals, but they were still cautious because they had enemies. Their malicious opponent was Baron Dante, who was angry because the gobbos had four islands and he had only one. He was huge and toothless and dressed In a chain mail vest. The tyrant wore a cape bearing a small yellow image of his face. He had big hands, one of which, for some unknown reason, was iron. His hair was long and red and stood on end. Baron didn’t have a nose, but he had small nostrils. His servants were the dantinis, who had large chins like Dante’s and the same type of hairstyle, but were much lower in status.
The gobbos were primitive animals. Their best invention was the bucket roper, a bucket with a rope on each end. They paddled their boat away from the islands and threw the bucket in the water, holding onto the rope and hoping that at the bottom would appear an octopus and that it would release its ink. Then they would lift the bucketful of ink, which they used as paint. But this invention never worked.
The wooden houses on the gobbos’ islands were small and unreliable. They didn’t use nails! On Green Island lived the king of the gobbos, who was called Rufus.

I hope, this crocodile not to young to eat food like this? - Yes, he can. he has about one year. I think, yes. After they have feded him, Rufus asked: - And what name we give him? - I think, the best name to this crocodile - Croc. - Has answered Drake. - Croc! Exelend name! Now this crocodile was named Croc! Some time has passed and Gobbos have made friends with Croc. Croc has been very original child. He drew by left hand and held pen by fist. After Croc slightly has grown up, he was twice higher and more strongly than gobbos. They taught receptions, as tried to use against dantini. When gobbos played with Croc football, no one dont like be a goalkeeper. His favourite meal was the peas. And His best friend was Drake Johnson was, at times, reticence.

Chapter 3: The black island.
Croc has original Appearance. He has large, dark blue eyes, large nostrils and in the left part of the mouth him has large tooth. He has ellow Stomach and green skin, like all of the crocodiles. Croc had one habit, like Rufus. He like go walk in the morning on a coast. Early, morning, when his friend, Drake was sleeping, Croc hardly has left small Drake`s house. He has gone on a coast. In this The moment He think about his parents. He don`t know who they such! And how he has managed to departure from parents in the green island? Maybe, they haven`t time behind Him to look after? But now, suddenly Croc`s ideas were interrupted by one object, who swim in the sea. Croc could not understand, who is it. Who - that, violet Colours sat in a boat. Croc began to remember about dantini, about which him told gobbos. But he is not sure. When the violet object sitting in a boat has swum up to a coast, Croc has not sustained and said: - Who are you? - You are very soon receive the answers to all questions. Sit in a boat! - said him, a little bit hoarse voice. Suddenly, having examined him more attentive, Croc has understood, who is that violet creature. This is dantini. Croc asked: - Where we are floating? - Wait and see! Croc understood: he can`t be informed by this dantini. By the dantini looks different, not like another dantinis. He hes especially large chin, large lip, not like others dantinis, and he was blond. They were floating long. Croc worried more and more. The weather was so bad, rain started. They at last swimed to the island. This island looked very gloomy. They go out from the boat and Croc asked: - What island is this? - Is a black island! Croc finally has remembered, what Drake told him. Yes, it was that island, on which baron Dante lives. Croc already Was going to run, but has understood, that it is useless. Croc started see on the Vicinities of the island. Croc has seen the castle, which was constructed from darkly - grey bricks. The castle consist of many towers, but that tower, that was in the middle there was highest. The walls was are attached huge, bent horns. On a way to it frequently Met beds, in which planted prickliy flowers, on which the thorns of green colour, with green thorns are grew. Now the day begin, but on this island is looks like a night. Was cold, and rain poured, as from Bucket. Soon, they came to the castle. In front of the lock was hole, filled water, in which swiming sharks. Dantini stop go and shouted: " " open, is me!!! " ". Huge door of the castle was omitted above the hole with water on chains and has turned out that - that like The bridge, on which Croc and Dantini have passed inside and appeared in a dark room. Dantini looked on Croc with such smile, that he began to worry more strongly. Croc was ready to go on the lock it will be long and he is right. On the walls Croc noticed different pictures: on one - baron Dante, on another - baron Dante, but already with two Dantinis. And third picture has interested Croc more, than anothers. On this picture was drawed mother of baron Dante, his wife or his dauther. She was dressed in dark blue roofing. About she, Croc nothing knew. At windows the different patterns were combined from a glass: on one of them - iron glove, which dressed Dante. Some rooms were shined by huge lamps with sets inserted in them candles. On a floor were The red carpets are spread out, on which the symbol of baron Dante, precisely such, as was seen at not that on a raincoat. Frequently met Statues Dantini with the wings. They went long, turning that to the left, to the right, rising upwards, falling downwards. On a way he met much others dantinis. At last, they reach the highest tower of the castle. Dantinis suddenly has run downwards, and Croc, in bewilderment continued to stand there. With The top tower all this, small island was seen practically. Suddenly, Croc has heard loud steps. He has turned back and seen there huge essence, green coloured and with huge iron By glove on the right hand. The kind of this essence inspired fear. Croc who guessed, it is... - I am - the great baron Dante, the wizard and I am can doo all!!! - Said baron Dante loud, low, roaring voice. - I know all about you! You - a villain! - On appearance do not judge... I am strong and mighty! And I can`t understand, who has given to gobbos allible to the ruled three islands! Why i can`t ruled this three islands!? We shall proceed of main. I want to know,do you want to be my servant? - No way! - What!? Why -!? Is would mean for me treachery of my people! Gobbos - they for me, like a parants! They brought up and learned me... - Stop said stupid things! Your people - crocodiles! But they are dead!!! - What!? - Yes! They are dead! I killed all of the crocodiles! See, you do not have native people! All of them are dead! Now, you can understand, that you nobody not deceided!? - I like death, more, than be your severant! - ... Well!! I if you like dead...! Baron Dante picked - up Croc by a leg and beginnings to hold him above ground, at the end of the tower. - I rerepeat! Do you be my servant!? - Is not possibly... How you have killed them? - I blown up his island!!! - Why? - They prevented my plans! I ask last time! Do you want to be my servant!? - Of course, not ! - Well, i think, than in other life you will be cleverer!!! - Shouted Dante and has unclenched a hand. Croc falling. He shouted and closed his eyes. Soon, he has fallen in water, in lake, where swimming Sharks. He has fallen on the shark. Soon, he had to be rescueed from furious sharks. He departured from them with maximal speed, which he only was capable. The sharks was closer and closer to him... Hardly he had time to get out on a coast, as he Has felt teeth a shark. Croc has cried. He on a leg had deep wound. From his leg, blood quickly flew. Croc know, than him need quickly get out from this island. To remain on this island was is unsafe. When Croc go by one leg, as from the top tower the shout of baron Dante was distributed: " " Now you can go! If two weeks leater and you don`t be my severand, I shall kill you!!! " ". These words have forced Croc to run faster. When he go to the boat, he pick large and long bush from a tree and he has tiled up his leg. Already was Night, and the rain did not come to an end. Croc seat in a boat and now by his main desire was - faster to be get out from the black island.

Chapter 4: strange gobbo.
Was late to floating on a green island and this is was too long. Croc is tired also him it would be desirable to sleep. He has decided to stop on a yellow island, because this island is closest to a black island, whence Croc was floating. Yellow island was desert, with high mountains and small hills, on which grew cactuses. On this Island in the afternoon was hot, but night it is rather cold. There was a strong wind, which lifted and turned sand and when he got in eyes, it was not better, than webs in the castle of baron Dante. Croc thought about happened and analyzed this things. He recollected everything, down to a picture, on which was drawn The mother of baron Dante, then has understood it by an inscription, under a portrait: " mrs. D " . Croc`s boat has swum up to a coast and he left the boat and go to the beach. If gobbos would not build his houses here, this island was be long empty ground, in which occasionally meet oases. On first sight this island also looked, but, if to pass the coast, you can there wooden houses, which it is usual Built gobbos. And near here was a unique, small inn, which is proud named itself " Hotel ". Croc quickly go in this small `Hotel` and asleep there. About three days Croc lived on this island, the change of conditions to him was pleasant, but he worried about the threat of baron Dante. Croc seat to a boat also was directed to itself home, to Drake, on a green island. Has reached the island quickly, because that the waves beat Just in that side, where he was floating. Croc has passed a small beach, then has risen on the hill and reached Drake`s house . Croc has stopped near of the door, leading to the house. Croc has heard the loud voice, from which proceeded an echo. Croc has listened: - If your friend, crocodile finds out something, you are death!!! - Ì... Yes... Do not worry, he nothing not finds out... - Say Drake. - Remember, one word and you a corpse! - Yes... Ofcourse... On it the dialogue has terminated. The doors on the gobbo islands dont closed on the lock and Croc has opened a door and come in the house. Croc some time in amazement looked on Drake, and then has asked: - But... with who do you talked?... - Hmm... Well... I don`t know... - answered Drake. - But he can`t disappear! Where is he! - I don`t know! - If you don`t want to tell me anything it is not necessary. I shall find out this secret by my self. - And what a scratch on your leg? Croc never took offence to anybody, if this is trivialities and he, with pleasure Has retold the story, happend with him two days ago. Drake with interest has listened him and more they to this theme did not come back about the next day. And on the next day, Drake looked scared. But,he answered to Croc equally: " " i don`t know " ". One day after, Croc came back at home, after morning walk especially resolutely adjusted. He has solved as it is possible find out, why Drake scared. Croc has risen on the hill, then has come in the house and has asked Drake: - Oh, my God... Really you don`t want to tell this secret to the friend? What danger would not threaten to us, it is necessary to know. Tell me at last, what happend with you! - But it... Well... Hmmm... You need to floating on a yellow island! - What!? - But... I can not tell... - I shall float, if you will tell, what happend ! - Hmmm... I shall tell. But only on a yellow island. - It is good! Moving to the yellow island! They have taken a boat and have floated to the yellow island. The sky was dark blue and cloudless, and water was transparent. Croc`s mood Corresponded to weather, and Drake - completely is opposed. The wind blew to other side and they were floating slowly. Croc periodically it was necessary to jump out of the boat and to push Boat, that they have reached faster. And his sufferings were not gone vainly. They have swum up to a sandy coast and jumping from a boat. Croc say: - Well! We and on a yellow island! Now you can tell me this story? - At first we reserved in hotel! - Ohhh... It means, we stay here more, than one day? - Yes, probably... They came into that inn, named " " Hotel " ", in which before this time, reserved Croc. He reseved in small Room. Drake sat down on a bed, and Croc on a floor. They started talking: - Now, you can tell to me this secret? - Why you can not understand? I have threatened with death! - But, you see, if I shall know it, you will be more safe! - Maybe, is no time to talking about this at night! - But you see, now is not night! - Mmm... And so... - Faster. - Listen. While you, Croc, couple of days back, when you swim to the castle of baron Dante, something very strange happend with me. I listened awfully loudly knocks to a door, to me in the house. I open the door. And what I see!? An awful essence similar on Baron Dante but made from the crystals. Besides it, he differed from baron Dante: him has violet eyes and the hairdress was looking like large thorns. He all was made from the crystals! Then, he suddenly, with unnatural voice say: " Ah, is you, Drake! I shall be efteblish in you! ". After these strange words he... Has flown in me! Yes! he in me was installed! But I dont, what for! All that day i dont go on the street, i did not leave my home. This awful felling - felling of uncertainty! The next day, at evening, I suddenly have feeling, as if - Me wash by hot water! This is like feeling, as when he was install in me. But this time, this essence has left me. This crystal baron said: " when Croc return to you, immediately say him to be floating on a yellow island, and say, than he need go to the prophent! And don`t forget, Croc must find four jigsaw peaces! ". What!? - said i, and he repet, than you need to find four jigsaw peaces. I said: where Croc can find this peaces and he answered, than this is his small secret, but the prophent can help us! We need to go to the prophent and ask, where we can find this jigsaw peaces. And, he was again installed in me. And at the next day, he said, than if i tell it somebody, he kill me. And you open the door and come in the house. - You lie! How such giant could be placed in your house? - he can change his size! - Hmmm... Sounds incredibly! And what it for? to who he said, we need to go? - Is the prophent. He live in this island. - Well, lets go to him. - o.k. ... - Unwillingly has agreed Drake.

I agree - the translation is great, especially considering English is not your first language (in fact, I know native English-speakers who don't write this well). :D I'm really enjoying the story - please hurry and post more! :)

I don`t know... - You always so worried?... - I don`t know! - Is you favorite words. You need to has rest on the beach! - There is no time! - Thats truth. Croc and Drake come in the woody house of the prophent, where was easily placed Croc. Drake begin to talk the prophent, who differed by the long wool and green hat on the head: - Well... Hi, prophent... - with a little awkwardly has spoken Drake. - Hello, the inhabitant of the gobbo islands! Whether with the peas you come to me, or with enmity? - Hmmm... With the peas! - And this is good. - Tell me, please, where i can find the jigsaw peaces? - This, my friend, i don`t know. - I think, you know all in the world! - yeas, my young visitor, thats truth, i know, where you need to go... - Well, where, where we need to go? - Do not interrupt the prophent! - Forgive me... - Okay. On first time i forgive. So, listen: you and your friend need to go on the black island and find the magic casket. - Black island! This is where baron Dante lives! - I have an advice to you, my friend - more do and smaller speak. - Understood? - With smile has say to him Croc and continued conversation: - What is magic casket? And, what for we need find four jigsaw peaces? - Sorry, my friends, but i can`t answered to this question . You need open this secret by yourself. - And where we can find this magic casket? In the most black island, or in the castle of baron Dante? - In the castle of baron Dante. I can give you a map of this castle., on that shelf... Croc has taken an old map from the wooden shelf. - And how we are coming to the black island and dantini don`t see us? - Has asked Drake. - You, with your friend need to be floating through a marsh of teeth. - Marsh of teeth? And where is it? - Leave from here, turn to the right and two minutes to go and you reach this marsh. The marsh of teeth is very spooky place. I heard, in this marsh live one awful creature. This creature wants to bite and to bite off a piece more. I heard, this creature is monster... Yeah, very awful place - the marsh of teeth. - My God! Why!? Why this crysalic baron was installed in me? What the stupid situation! And, now we need to go to the marsh of teeth and dead! - Due Drake. - Well, my friends... what`s the time...Oh, too late... Sory, i am closed. Croc and Drake have said goodbye to the prophent and go on the street. There was evening. They go in the direction to the marsh of teeth. Croc Has looked on the map and told: - Well, and where is the magic casket? Drake some time looked on the map, and said: - I think, is... here, this square led round in a circle, here is written, that this symbol means - magic casket. And There is he... In dungeon of defright. - We need go in to the baron Dante`s castle, in the dungeon of defright, find this strange magic casket, get out and dantini dont must see us? Sounds inposible... we need to create the tactics. And Croc, with Drake begin think about various ways how to penetrate into the castle of baron Dante. Between that, they have reached the coast of a gloomy marsh, with darkly - green water. They have taken a boat and start floated. The swamp it was more similar on small lake. Drake told: - Probably, we floating to the black island, to find this stupid casket! We can die! The risk is very big! And, this place looks very spooky! And the monster lives in this swamp! - If we don`t find this casket, and four jigsaw peaces, the crystal baron may kill us! You think, that is - more good? - Me?! No! - Then, keep sit qulietly. Drake was agreed with Croc, and stop talking. They were floating slowly. He see the coast of the black island, and Croc say to Drake: - See! And you worried! There are no monsters here! But the Drake suddenly has shouted: - Danger!!! - Don`t panic! - There... Horror! - Where? - There!!! - Drake show to Croc the creature, who looking that: green leather, with long claws and three long teeth visible leaving from a mouth. He had brightly - green eyes and long tail. - Push a boat! He want to catch us!!! - Has shouted Drake. Croc jumped out of a boat and begin push the boat, to swim more speedly. Soon they have reached coast, Drake jumped out of a boat. Croc and Drake turned back. They see a strange thing. No one not chased his. This essence, with long claws, motionlessly looked at them. They stop running too. Soon, this creature, this essence has say by a slightly hoarse voice: - Hey! you... The crocodile?

Sometime he go and reached big dark castle - castle of baron Dante. Croc say to Max: - Mayby you told me - what the plane you created? - I know, than Seimour is guard of the baron Dante`s castle. We ask him: what is the magic casket, what he doing and what the way we need to use to go into the castle! - Thats a good idea, but this dantini can told all of this to baron Dante. Are you sure, than Seimor dont doing something like that? - Absolutly. He is my friend. - And what about me? - All is okay... The friends hidding to bushes growing before the lock. They seen that dantini, with which Croc was floating in a boat. He stay near the castle. Max say to him: - Hey, Seimour, is me! Come on. - Who is near you!? That crocodile!? And gobbo!? What he need? - Do not worry, is my friends. - I don`t know, than you have the friends... And so - what you need? - What is the magic casket? - Magic casket? Why you it interests? - Is a long history... - I am - the guard of this castle and i dont know too many about the things like this. I remember,two days ago, or earlier, two dantini left this castle. Some time ago and he return with the poorly - looking casket. I ask this dantini - what is it, and he answered, than this is the thing, named the magic casket. And they don`t say something more. But he going to the castle not only with this casket, he carried the key of this castle. This key looks beutiful - gold and with the bright, violet gem in the middle. Can you imagine, what is the cost of this key! It was realy big! At the next day i asked the dantini, where is the magic casket. He answered, than is in the dungeon of defright. You can`t belive that, but i go to the dungeon of defright and stole the key! Now i can sell this key! - Hmmm... I am think, than we need this key. - Give this key to you!? No, thanks... I can sell it to you for one million crystals. - I am afraid, than i dont have some crystals. - I have fifteen crystals - for fun has told Croc. - And i - ten - spoken Drake. - No, no, offcourse no. You have not enough crystals. - Maybe, we can take this key and return after one hour? - Want to take it for rent? Well... okay. But you need to give me twentyfive crystals. Seimour give a gold key, Croc and Drake give him all the crysals, what they have. Seimour with a mistrustful kind has told: - And I hope, that you soon will return it to me. You was lucky, because Max come with you. I trust him. - And where we can find the way, leads to the castle, where dantini can`t see us? -... Sometimes there are such cases, when dantini steal something and run away from that, who is robbered. Dantini need to quickly go into the castle and don`t wait, when door open. Special, for this situation created a secret entrance. It was under water, where the sharks swiming, under the bridge leads to the castle. If you wan to go in this castle, you need to know when this secret entrance was ended, in the castle you can meet the guard. But i got a plane! I start speaking with this guard, mayby, him can`t hering me, and i shall ask him to go more close to me - maybe, is another room and start speaking with him. - Sharks!? Is fatally dangerous! - Worried Drake. - Nonsense. The sharks bite only then, when they feels blood. - Is wonderful! And this plan was genius! Lets go. - And don`t forget return me the key. - Do not worry about this. - Forgive... - Say Drake - But is too dangerous to me! - No, you come with us! - Insisted Max. - Is not very good time for all these conflicts. If he wants to stay here - let stay. - Well, okay. - Unwillingly has agreed Max. Croc and Max silently have dived into water. They see the sharks. Croc remember, what happend with him last time, when he met baron Dante. Soon, brothers seen this secret entrance. They be a crocodiles and can was a long time before air. They swim into this entrance and have begun to be floating between walls, which were combined by the dark bricks. At last they come up of the water and go in a dark corridor. Max has whispered: - Well, and where is this dungeon of defright? Can you show me the map? - I think, i frorget ask Drake to give the map to us... - Oh, no! - But wait, i can remember, where is this place. We need to go forward, and soon, we meet the dungeon. They passed the corridor, in the left and in the right which were they see many heavy metalic armours. Then, they passed a wooden ladder covered by red carpet. - Well! Behind a corner should be dungeon of defright! - Silently has told Croc. - I hope. The brothers go further. There was such darkness, that they can`t anything see. And suddenly, they heared loud sound. - What is it!? - Was surprised Croc. - I have touched armour... - Sadly has explained Max. - I hear steps! Let`s run from here! They run out from a dark corridor and suddenly they see the whole crowd of dantinis. Croc and Max have run away, but have met another Crowd. They were surrounded. Dantinis have forced brothers to go in the dark room. This place illuminated only by torches. Dantini placed Croc and Max into two, big diferent cages. One minute later and baron Dante come in this room. He looks surprised and angry. - Hey, whom I see! My old friend - Croc! And who is this strange - looking three - toothed reptilian? I think, you coming, because you want to be my slave? - No! - Then, why come into my castle!? - Is not your business. - What!!? To throw him into fire! Immediately! - Shouted baron Dante to the slaves. Five dantinis pick Croc by the hand, and try to expeled him of this room. Slowly, because that he was beaten off. Baron Dante has turned to Max: - Now we shall try to beat out something from this green skin! - All dantinis have laughed. - Stop! - And dantinis stop laughing. - ... So, what do you search here? - Anything! - And why i see in your hand a key from the magic casket!? I have understood, is you stole the key! But why you return!? Mayby, you can open it? - Offcourse, not! - Why! - If i want to open the casket, i not need to stole the key! - Why you return in my casle!? But, if you can`t open this casket, is not interested me. On the fire!!! - Wait! Croc can open the magic casket! Do not burn him! - So - that is better. But if you lie, i shall prick out you eyes, cut on fine slices and fry all of this... Well, lead his to the casket! Dantini lead Croc and Max into the dungeon of defright. They see a small lilac tribune, on which stood small wooden casket. Baron Dante said: - Give this key to Croc! Max give to Croc golden key. Croc has thrust it in a key chink. But he can`t open this casket he turned key into diferent sides, but is not help. - If you don`t open this stupid casket, i kill your green friend. - Said baron Dante about Max - Call executioner! One dantini go away from this room and return with old humpbacked dantini - green colour, with darkly - blue eyes, Holding old scythe with small cracks and in a red raincoat with the large hood, wooden buttons, long sleeves and nostrils of the different size - right was smaller left. He differed by the large chin. This dantini went slowly and thus is shivered. - I think now, you need to care about your life, and not about your friends life! If one minute ago, my executioner kill him!!! - Threatened baron Dante. But Croc can`t open the casket. A bit later baron Dante has told: - Or you are not able to open this casket, or you do not want to do it! It is time to kill your friend! The following will be You!!! Execute!!! - has ordered to executioner baron Dante. Five dantinis held Max. Old executioner already has lifte the scythe... And unexpectedly has screamed. All have seen Drake. He has bitten for Leg this old dantini. Max quickly has taken Drake and they run in the room, where was Croc and casket. Max closed a door and began hold it. - You too hold a door! I shall try to open the casket. - Has told Drake, addressing to Croc. - There is no time! Run! Only they have run off a door, as at once baron Dante there has rushed. Croc pick - up magic casket. Croc, Max and Drake have jumped in a window. They have fallen in water, with sharks. Max and Croc, holding Drake instantly have come up to the coast. Croc has thrown a key back to Seimour. Second later, behind them have runed dantini from the castle and Seimour, for a kind - too. The friends have run in were over. They long ran by the different confusing ways, while finally have not come off from dantinis. They seen a small house. Drake said: - Come here! - But is may be house of dantini! - Come on and don`t scare, i know, that is not dantini`s house. They came into the house. There there was only one small bed. They to wanted sleep, to reasoning about - who sleep on the bed. And all three start sleep on the floor...

Chapter 7: magic casket.
Croc has woken up early, at the morning. Max sleep, but Drake seat on the chair and talk with another gobbo, which had long wool, violet - grey colour. Usually so looked elderly gobbos. Before Croc asked something, this gobbo said, with the muffled vote: - Exelent! One of my quests has woked up! I very glad to see the guest here, because is realy seldom to find quest in the dark island! - Who are you? - Drake do not told to you about me? I am Drake`s old friend - Heman. - Heman? - Yes, Drake told to me all your adventures. It is fantastic! In the meantime has woken up Max asked with surprised vote: - Who is this gobbo? - Drake`s friend. Heman. - And why you live on a black island? Is a long story... But, if told this story briefly - not to be so long... In childhood, my parents give me on a black island and i be a slave of baron Dante. Many years ago and i escaped with my friend Drake, from this castle. We run far, in a wood. Drake said, than we need to get out from this island and then i understood one strange thing: i attathed to this island. And i would not like to departure from here. I stay here and built this house. - And how you have got acquainted with Drake? - Maybe, Drake told all, what happend with him and with us? Drake slowly has turned to them: - Okay, now i told all thruth, what`s happend with me, with you and with your parents. Already there is nothing to hide. In childhood, with me has happened something, like with the Heman. I was baron Dante`s slave. In this castle i meet the Heman. Then, I have run away from this castle, with Heman, but i don`t wished live black island like him. I departured from here. I knew, that if baron Dante find me, he kill me. I think, than dantini may search me on the gobbo islands and i swim to the crocodile island - here, i think, he can`t find me. Croc and Max, i told to your parents all, what happend and they have heltered me into they house. Some time i lived in your house. But, i think, dantini see me on the crocodile island, when the swim near there. It was dangerous - stay on the crocodile island, because dantini may find me, and i swim out from that island, to the green island. Sometimes i visited your parents, because they were my best friends. Some time ago and swim to the black island, for visit Heman. I have come to a coast of this island and hidding into the bushes, and dantinis walking near here don`t see me. But i heard, what they speak. One says: "Maybe, is too severely - blow up all crocodile island, because one little slave escaped, and hidding there? '. Another dantini answered him: ' baron Dante knows, what fairly and what not, but is not only because this slave escaped . Many crocodiles do not give his childrens in slavery! Is can`t be unpunished. '-' Are you sure, than no one don`t see us with he bomb, before the island blow up? '-' Offcourse, yes, because we start to carry out this mission early morning, when all crocodiles sleep. ' And where we å ¸ let's assume? ' - When i heard all this terrible dialogue, i immediately have floated on the crocodile island and has told all this to your parents. At first, they looking very much surprised, then i have told it to other crocodiles. Sometimes later and all crocodiles have departured from this island. Yes they are alive! But... I am afraid... your parents have died... They did not departure from this island! As I them did not ask! And they don`t explained reason to this! At that moment i awfully was angered by their indifference! I have told them: ' if you want to kill yourself, do not kill your children! ' Having told i, in an impulse of fury I have thrown cradle with Croc in the sea. Your parents terribly have become angry and have floated to catch up a cradle with you. I have taken advantage of chance and ask Max to go swimming. I think, than when your parents return, they be soothen and understand, than don`t get out from this island - is madness. But, when they return, they was very angry and have banished me from there. On the next day, Croc - you swim to a coast of a green island. Further, you know. - Oh, my god... Is all? - ...Wait... I remember, than one time i see someone, dressing in black raincoat with your parents. - Hey! - Said Max - why you do not told to us all this story on the swamp of teeth? - Because, when i was in the marshe, baron Dante and all dantinis thinking, than i dead and than crocodile island was explosived. When i see Max, i think, than is too dangerous told all to him. Maybe, he told all this to dantinis! - And why you told this now? - Baron Dante see me in the castle yesterday night and understood, than i allive. - Why you come to us, in the castle? - You to long don`t return, and i beginning worry. Sometimes, they sitting silent and Heman said: - Hey! I see, i have not acquainted you with the dish - thornoos. - What is it? - Is a large thorn of the one plant... - Oo, sounds detestable! - With a grimace of disgust said Max. - You can`t say something about this food, because you don`t eat it. Now, i cook this. Yesterday night, when you come into my house i don`t see you, because i collect thorns of this plant. During the monologue Heman has put in a fireplace a log, has taken two small stones, shabby them and kindled fire. Then has approached to a heap large thorns of green colour, with violet tips, has taken one of them and has put it in fire. After this, Croc said: - What happened with parents, who is in the raincoat, why they stay in the island, who is the crystalic baron, why we need find four jigsaw peaces, what is it and what is the magic casket...? Hey, i think, is time to open it! - But... We return the key to Seimour! - Don`t worry! When you hold the door, i rotate the on the corect sides! Now, you can open it! - Said Drake. Croc coming to the casket, has bent for open it, but, the cover of the casket speedy opened and friends listened a strange voice: "Hey!' - Who is it!? Is... casket? - Imposible! - One minute and i faint! - Has informed the emotions Drake. Casket said: - Sit quietly and listen! I see, you open me. I here, for help you. - When he talk, he use the cover, like mouth. - Who has concluded? - I shall not tell, it is a secret. You want to find four jigsaw pieces, yes? - Yeah. - You need floating on the Chilli island. - Chilli island? Where is it? But the casket was silent. Thy ask him many things, but he silent. - However, I know, where is the chilli island - has told Drake. - Is near here. - Lets swim to this island! There are no time to loose! - With impatience has told Croc. - But we don`t know, where is on the island this peace! - I hope, when we be on this island, magic casket answer to this question. C` mon! - Wait, at first you need to eat! Thornoos is ready! Heman has taken a plate, pick up a large thorn of the fire by poker and has put on the table. Croc, Max and Drake have begun eat this food.This thorn was similar to pepper, but all in what - that slime similar honey. Some time, Croc with disgust looked on this dish, and then has noticed: - And than we shall be eat this? - Ah, i absolutely forget about this... - Has answered Heman and has brought a spoon. - Spoon? And why not a plug? - Priest at year of a restaurant spoon has chosen a spoon. Croc respected customs of gobbos and did not begin to object, like Max. But despite of it, thornoos has come all rather taste. When the finis eat, Croc has told: - Well, now we can floating! - But we haven`t the boat, and that at a bog of teeth and i think, come back is too risky. - noticed Drake. - Do not worry, I have the boat! - Said Heman. - Yes? And where is it? - In the cellar. - Why is no near the coast? - Dantinis can steal the boat. - Has answered Heman and open a cellar. All friends have helped Heman to pull out a boat, send from house, have dragged to a coast and have thrown off in water. - Thaks! Goodbye, Heman! - Wait! I swim with you! I already was bothered by this black island! They have sat in a boat and start floated.
