She was about to swallow her but the old lady asked Pitifully from Buwahaya and promise to do anything for Buwahaya in return buwaya for her then she remembered her two little babies who need somebody to take care of them when she’s out so buwaya brought with her Aling Sita the old lady the crocodile ask aling sita to take care of her two little babies and in return she will take care of her and bring her delicious food to eat everyday aling sita sings that song to the two little baby crocodiles and hit them when they won’t sleep when mother crocodile comes home she always bring delicious food and nutritious food for Aling Sita the old lady was so happy and promise to keep an eye for her baby crocodiles and never mistreat the two but in contrast as soon as Buwahaya leaves their home the old lady sit’s all day without looking after the two baby crocodiles when it’s about time for Buwahaya to arrive Aling Sita gets up.She hurriedly feeds and bathes them and cleans up the mess as soon as mother crocodile arrives she check her children
if they are clean,well fed and have enough sleep. Aling Sita always says well your children are well taking good care I work all day to feed them clean them up and let them sleep buwahaya was very grateful to aling sita with a good deed showing to her children as a sign of gratitude mother crocodile daily brings her delicious food to eat. One day Buwahaya was so curious on how the old lady takes good care of her two little babies she secretly hid behind and observed what the old lady does when she was out as usual Aling Sita sits all day and b the babies when they don’t sleep when the babies are about to sleep she isang them a lullaby la la la sleep now ugly crocodiles you are both awful your smell is so unpleasant I hate crocodiles like you la la la hearing Aling Sita song Buwahaya grew in anger she went away and found food for her babies she also gathered food for Aling Sita but instead of delicious food buaya collected all the snakes near the river and place them in the basket for Aling Sita as soon as Buwahaya arrived home she handed the basket to Aling Sita this is for you i got the best food for you today i’m good you always doing for my babies thank you so much Aling Sita answered happily. Aling Sita opened the basket eagerly. Upon opening she was shocked coming out from the basket. that’s your price of being rude to my baby’s I was so kind to you but you treated my baby’s foolishly said Buwahaya angrily please forgive me Buwahaya a handful for the past day for give my foolishness pleaded Aling Sita I promise that i will never do the same again i did the frightened old lady though seemed expected, Buwahaya had forgiven Aling Sita.
