A crocodile egg rolled into the duck's nest.
Under the care of the mother duck,
Baby crocodile Guji Guji has been born!
Although it looks very different from a duckling,
The mother duck loved each of them equally.

Until Guji Guji encountered three bad crocodiles,
It fell into a series of self-doubts...

Beyond race and appearance,
Become a powerful source of support for it!
