Hi everyone

It is hard for me to choose because there are so many different types of fruit in the world and they are all unique in they're own way. I like all the types of fruit in the world. I like the fruits like: apples, bananas, strawberry's, blueberry's, pineapple, and kiwi. I think those crocodiles are just greedy for no reason and they should be ashamed of themselves although I think crocodiles are pretty cool to because of they're big mouth and teeth crocodiles have been predators from the stone age and have always been a predator to other animals for over thousands of years and are still popular today. What I love about them is the fact that they have been dangerous predators for over thousands of years which is what makes them really cool but I still don't think they should've tried to eat his heart the is just greedy of them and so not nice at all they should respect the monkey because he let them eat his apples.
