Every day after his big meal, Mr. Crocodile would open his mouth to take a nice nap. Exactly at this time, Miss Plover would fly into his mouth to look for food as well as to clean up his teeth.


 

Mr. Crocodile hated all kinds of animals. He thought they were annoying. One day, Mr. Crocodile could not tolerate Miss Plover anymore. He roared, “ Can ‘t you see I ‘m sleeping? Go away! Don ‘t disturb me and don ‘t come back again! ” Miss Plover was terrified. She flew away immediately. She was Mr. Crocodile ‘s dentist no more.

Since then, everyday after his meals, Mr. Crocodile could enjoy his moment of peace. He kept on eating, drinking and sleeping peacefully. A month later, his teeth began to ache. His teeth were rotten and he was suffering from a very bad toothache. He felt miserable for a whole week.

One day Miss Plover happened to fly by the river. She saw how miserable Mr. Crocodile was and felt sympathetic. She flew in front of him and asked if he would let her help to relief his pain. Mr. Crocodile was too happy to have someone to help him. So, Miss Plover spent a whole afternoon working hard – cleaning and scrubbing until Mr. Crocodile ‘s teeth did not hurt anymore.

Feeling much better, Mr. Crocodile was thankful for Miss Plover ‘s help. He was ashamed of his bad behaviour earlier. He apologized to Miss Plover immediately.

Since then, the two became good friends and would meet up with each other everyday after meals.
