The Wax Crocodile, from Egyptian Myth and Legend by Donald Mackenzie (1907)
A wife has started cheating with a younger man in a lake, and when the husband found out he was not thrilled. He asked for a wax crocodile and then gave it life. This magical entity did whatever the husband commanded, and he commanded to be brought the youth who was sleeping with his wife. When the crocodile did, the husband sent the crocodile back to the lake where the youth was never seen again. His wife was burned at the stake for infidelity.
