One warm day in the Nile, there were two zoologists studying the Nile crocodile. They had made a treehouse base, near the Nile River to observe the Nile crocodiles. Lydia and Iris were zoologists from Greece who came to Egypt to study the Nile crocodiles in the wild. "Did you make sure to bring some fly spray?" Iris asks Lydia. "Mhm, it's in the front zip of the suitcase" she replies. Iris goes over to the suit case and grabs the fly spray, spraying it all over her arms and legs. After the girls finish unpacking they go out on the treehouse balcony to see if they can spot any crocodiles.

"Look Iris I see the float!" Lydia says pointing at the float of at least 20 crocodiles resting in the Nile River. Iris grabs her camera to take a picture. The girls continue to observe and take notes about the crocodiles, around 30 minutes later the crocodiles begin to swim away. "Look they're probably going hunting." Iris says taking a note of the time as the crocodiles leave eyesight. Soon after Iris smells smoke. "Lydia do you smell that?" Iris says looking at Lydia, "yeah?wait! I left the oven on!" Lydia screams going in the tree house Iris following her. They see that half of the tree house is already on fire and the building will fall down any minute. They both get down and watch the tree house burn down and break apart.

"Okay? don't panic, why are we panicking!?" Lydia says panicking having no idea what to do. If the crocodiles come back and notice us here we will be the floats next meal. "It's okay. We'll just get some wood and try rebuilding before the crocodiles come back" Iris suggests. The girls agree on the idea and split to find some wooden sticks and logs, they put anything they find near the river and go off to find more. After 20 minutes they meet up near the burnt treehouse and notice the logs aren't there. They look around and notice all their logs had rolled off the edge and fallen into the water and were drifting off. "Ugh, what do we do now?" Lydia asks sweating from the heat. "I don't know?" Iris says thinking of something.

Just then the float of crocodiles returns and spot them straight away and start swimming over. Iris backs away while Lydia is frozen in fear. The crocodiles start to go towards Lydia snapping at her already. "Lydia, run!" Iris screams from the distance. Before Lydia could move a crocodile bites her leg making her fall down and scream in pain, the crocodile starts to drag her into the Nile River. Lydia starts to drown and tries to free herself from the crocodile but fails. "No!" Iris screams as she begins to cry.

After a few seconds Iris realises that a crocodile has begun to walk towards her. Iris backs away and grabs the first thing she sees which was a large rock and threw it at the crocodile. This irritated the crocodile and started walking faster towards Iris. Scared Iris checks her pockets and finds some fly spray, she grabs the fly spray and sprays in in the crocodiles eyes. The crocodile backs away and Iris grabs some rope and ties up the crocodile capturing the creature. A few days past and Iris is back at Greece in an interview of how she escaped the crocodile. "And that's how I caught the crocodile with fly spray!"
