Crocodile's Toothbrush

In a river, live a mummy crocodile and baby crocodile. One day, mummy crocodile tells the baby crocodile that, "You are now big enough. You eat fish and meat everyday, so you also need to take care of your teeth. I'll find you a toothbrush tomorrow?"

"A toothbrush? But my hands are so short that I can't reach my teeth by holding a toothbrush," thinks the baby crocodile.

The next day, the mummy crocodile brings back a plover to baby crocodile.

"Wow, is this for me to eat?" asks the baby crocodile.

"No! This is your toothbrush," says the mummy.

Since then every morning and evening the plover will go into the baby crocodile's mouth and helps him to clean the teeth.

One day, a bad crocodile comes to see the baby crocodile, "Have you tested a plover meat? They are really nice."

The baby crocodile begins to think about the plover meat. Finally, in one of the day, when the plover is cleaning the teeth, he closes the mouth and swallows down the plover, "It doesn't test extraordinary good."

But other plovers have seen that. The mummy crocodile can't get another toothbrush for him as all other plovers refuse to do that. The baby crocodile teeth slowly become decay and broken. In a few months, all the teeth drop off from his mouth and he dies.
