Getting the tourist dollar, Part One

We heard that every day at 4 p.m. crocodiles are fed "a few miles south of town, past the water tower, on the lagoon side." G describes it: "We rented bikes, and after a long and arduous bike ride where Dad led us astray numerous times, we finally came across an open part in the lagoon where 5 gangster looking kids called us over: - You guys want ta see da crocodiles? - After more tourists gathered they tied a rope on a frozen chicken and threw it repeatedly into the water until a crocodile came. The first one was probably about 8' long and the second about 12' long. They'd throw it in and tease it so the croc would try to bite it - to try to get it out of the water but they only got them half out."
Then they collect tips from the bystanders.
