THE ANGRY FAN
This happened in Australia, during a water-polo game that was one of the main sports events of the season. There was nothing exciting at the beginning of the game; but suddenly one of the players jumped out of the water and ran to the re-feree. He said that one of the forwards of the other team had bitten him in the leg while he was swimming under the water.
At first the referee thought that it was some kind of a joke, but when the player pointed to blood on his leg, he had to believe that it was serious. He called the forward and asked him why he had done such a strange thing; and though the forward insisted that he had not bitten anybody, the referee made him leave the game.
They began again, but a few minutes later, two players, one from each team, climbed out of the water, shouting that some¬body had bitten them. There was blood on both players' legs. The game was stopped, and they began to let the water out of the pool. When almost all the water was let out, everybody saw a young crocodile at the bottom of the pool.
Somebody had put the crocodile into the pool, but why?
The truth became known when the players returned to their dressing-room after the game and found a letter there.
"I have been a water-polo fan for many years," the author of the letter wrote, "and I am not satisfied with the way the players seem to act. They have allowed the game to become slow and uninteresting, and I have decided that I must do something to make them move faster. I don't think I can do this well myself, and I have decided that my crocodile will do it better."

СЕРДИТЫЙ ПОКЛОННИК
Это произошло в Австралии, во время игры в водное поло, которая была одним из главных спортивных событий сезона. В начале игры не было ничего интересного, но вдруг один из игроков выскочил из воды и побежал к рефери. Он сказал, что один из нападающих другой команды укусил его в ногу, когда он плыл под водой.
Сначала судья подумал, что это какая-то шутка, но когда игрок указал на кровь на своей ноге, он должен был поверить, что это было серьезно. Он позвал форварда и спросил его, почему тот сделал такую странную вещь, и хотя форвард настаивал, что он никого не кусал, судья заставил его покинуть игру.
Они начали снова, но через несколько минут два игрока, по одному от каждой команды, вылезли из воды, крича, что их кто-то укусил. На ногах обоих игроков была кровь. Игра была остановлена, и начали выпускать воду из бассейна. Когда почти вся вода была выпущена, все увидели молодого крокодила на дне бассейна.
Кто-то поместил крокодила в бассейн, но зачем?
Правда стала известна, когда игроки вернулись в свою раздевалку после игры и нашли там письмо.
"Я был поклонником водного поло в течение многих лет, - писал автор письма, - и я не удовлетворен тем, как игроки действуют. Они позволили игре стать медленной и неинтересной, и я решил, что должен сделать что-то, чтобы заставить их двигаться быстрее. Не думаю, что смог бы сделать это хорошо сам, и я решил, что мой крокодил сделает это лучше."
