He jumped into the water, but he didn't realize that a crocodile( 鳄鱼 ) was swimming toward him. His mother was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. She ran toward the water and shouted to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became scared and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the dock（码头） , the mother held her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile caught his legs. That began a tug-of -war（拔河） between the two.

His legs were full of cuts from the accident. And on his arms were deep scars（伤疤）from his mother's fingernails. A newspaper reporter asked the boy if he would show him his scars.
