Anaganos, anganos : le crocodile et le sanglier by Hôtel★★★ Restaurant gourmand Coco Lodge Majunga.

Texts and commentaries from tales and legends of Madagascar, by Rabearison – Trano Printy, 1992.

The crocodile and the boar met by chance, and by chance they talked as friends.
– Hello crocodile, launched the boar.
– Hello wild boar, replied the crocodile.
“The two giants meet and talk said small birds, are we going to further. The two giants greet, said chameleons, peace is therefore concluded, Let us approach without fear.”
– Hello crocodile, greeted once again the wild boar.
The saurian winked then he said: “My friend, with your head so low, can you really kill your neighbours ? See them you well ?”
– Me ? replied the boar, I drop the head because I still think. I have the air close your eyes because I watch every thing. But you who ramps all the time, What do you think really do ?
– Who has not crawled back into his life ? replied the crocodile. The greatest captain is the one who knows how to crawl the most. We must always fear that ramp.

And while the two friends were their respective exploits, the crocodile approached slowly crawling, While wild boar, while appearing see anything, épiaient of a malignant eye. The crocodile suddenly jumped and broke the kidneys of wild boar. The wild boar was so quick to send his defenses that he blew up the intestines of the crocodile.
The two giants died at the same time.

This is what happened, and this is what had to happen, sang birds.
Let us flee, their dead bodies will still be evil, chew the frightened Chameleon.

Note : the Tsimihety believe that crocodiles and wild boar are the beings of the world's most powerful. This is understandable because in Madagascar, We have neither lion, Neither elephant, or Panther. On the other hand, sharks are known only by locals who are on the brink of the sea. With respect to the tsingala and the Fisk, they are too small to be taken into account. It is also the fanivilona and the halavato. The varatra is a being of special gasoline, poorly defined, approaching many of the Godhead.
