The narrative follows a couple venturing into the jungle to gather food. The man climbs a coconut tree to harvest coconuts, but a fly distracts him, causing him to drop his knife. The falling knife startles the wife, who inadvertently kicks a crocodile sleeping below. The enraged crocodile swings its tail, leading to further commotion and the potential for more action. The story is presented as part of the Bloom book series, with a layout by SIL-PNG Education for Life. It is also available as a 'Talking Book' that can be read and listened to on phones and tablets via the 'Talking Books' app. The story appears to be an adaptation of a traditional pourquoi story, explaining why flies buzz, likely through a chain of events initiated by the initial disturbance.","Square-Why Flies Buzz  \nRetold by Rosie McCormick Illustrated by Gail McIntos  \nBloom book layout by SIL-PNG Education for Life  \nThis book is also available as a 'Talking Book'You can read and listen to it on your phone/tablet.
