Saving Little Crocodile
2
One day, the Lion King hosted a forest
meeting. The Lion King’s close guard,
Little Crocodile, had been experiencing
severe toothache lately and could not
guard the river. The Lion King then
gathered all animals to find a solution that
could help Little Crocodile solve his
problem.
3
Everyone was very worried because
Little Crocodile didn’t want to see a
dentist. While Little Crocodile was having
an afternoon nap; Bobby, the little dog
took everyone to Dentist Owl’s clinic for
advice on how to solve the problem.
4
After Dentist Owl heard about Little
Crocodile’s situation, he started thinking.
All animals were anxiously looking at him.
Dentist Owl said to everyone,“It seems
that there is something wrong with Little
Crocodile’s diet.”Dentist Owl then asked
Bobby to follow Little Crocodile the next
day and record his diet in detail.
5
The next morning, Bobby quietly watched
Little Crocodile and recorded his diet.
6
After Dentist Owl had read Little
Crocodile’s diet records, he said,“What
dietary problem do you think Little
Crocodile has?”
7
Question: Children, what dietary problem
do you think Little Crocodile has?
Answer:
A. Eating while guarding the river
B. Not eating together with other animals
C. Eating too frequently
D. Not telling the Lion King what he ate
8
Everyone had their own opinion. Some
said he ate too much, and some said he
was too picky with food.“ In fact, this is
related to his eating frequency. To save
Little Crocodile’s tooth, it seems that we
need to use a gadget.”Dentist Owl said.
9
Dentist Owl found Tooth Fairy and
discussed with her.“Alright, let’s do this!”
Tooth Fairy agreed
10
That night, Tooth Fairy entered Little
Crocodile’s dream. In the dream, Little
Crocodile saw a lot of food in front of him.
He was very happy and started eating
continuously.
11
He didn’t know why, no matter how long
he had been eating, there was still a lot of
food. He couldn’t stop eating even
though he wanted to. Suddenly, his teeth
started falling off one by one. Finally, all
his teeth had fallen off. He could no longer
eat. He was painful and terrified. He
started crying.
12
Little Crocodile kept on crying and crying.
He suddenly woke up. By that time,Tooth
Fairy appeared!
13
Tooth Fairy told Little Crocodile,“The
more frequently you eat, the easier you
get tooth decay. Quickly go to see a
dentist for a check-up. He will teach you
how to protect your teeth!”
14
Little Crocodile went to see the dentist
immediately. The dentist told Little
Crocodile“To reduce the chance of getting
tooth decay, you must reduce the
frequency of eating and drinking. When you
eat ten times a day, there will be ten
chances for getting tooth decay!” Little
Crocodile was very shocked to know that
he created himself so many chances for
getting tooth decay.
15
From then on, Little Crocodile followed
the advice from the dentist and reduced
the frequency of eating and drinking. He
now only eats three meals a day, and has
only one snack in between meals.

Today, the Lion King is hosting a forest
meeting again. All animals in the forest are
very happy to see Little Crocodile’s teeth
fixed. They all asked him how he could
keep his teeth clean!
