"Pilandok Crosses a River" is a Philippine folktale about a cunning mouse deer who outsmarts a hungry crocodile by convincing him to let him ride on his back to cross the river. However, Pilandok tricks the crocodile by pretending to not know how to count, causing the crocodile to underestimate his intelligence and spare his life. The story serves as a lesson on using wit and cleverness to overcome obstacles.
