The Enormous Crocodile is a story about a crocodile who lives in the sewers of London and is determined to eat a little boy named George. He comes up with various plans to catch George, including building a boat and setting traps, but George is always one step ahead.

One of the most clever tricks that the crocodile uses is to pretend to be a friend of George's father, Mr. George. He calls Mr. George and tells him that he has a plan to catch the crocodile and save George. Mr. George is initially skeptical, but the crocodile is so convincing that he eventually agrees to help.

The crocodile's plan is to build a giant trap using a lot of rope and a big piece of meat. He then calls Mr. George and tells him to bring George to the trap. When George arrives, the crocodile springs the trap and captures him.

George is initially scared, but the crocodile is so friendly that he eventually starts to trust him. The crocodile tells George about his life in the sewers and how he came to be so big. He also tells George about his plans to eat him, but George is determined to escape.

George comes up with a plan to escape from the crocodile's trap. He tells the crocodile that he has a friend who can help him escape. The crocodile is skeptical, but he eventually agrees to help.

The crocodile's friend is a little girl named Ruby, who lives in a nearby house. Ruby is a brave and clever girl who is always up for a challenge. She comes up with a plan to distract the crocodile while George escapes.

Ruby sneaks into the crocodile's house and finds a box of matches. She lights a match and throws it into the crocodile's house, setting it on fire. The crocodile is distracted by the fire and leaves the trap, allowing George to escape.

George is relieved to be free, but he is also scared. He knows that the crocodile is still out there and is determined to find him and stop him. He asks Ruby to help him, and she agrees.

Ruby and George go to the police station and tell the police about the crocodile. The police are initially skeptical, but they eventually agree to help. They set up a trap for the crocodile and catch him.

The crocodile is taken to a zoo, where he is kept in a special enclosure. He is never allowed to leave, and he is never allowed to eat another human being.
