Nyla and the White Crocodile
Belief in spirits and curses ran wild
among the river people of Borneo's deep jungle. when the huge white
crocodile appeared in the creek below Chief Ladah's village, Malik, the
witch doctor, said the village was cursed and the chief had to make a
great sacrifice to save them. Nyla, the chief's daughter, was the one the
crocodile wanted, but Ladah refused to sacrifice the girl to the "Great
White One."
