The crocodile's tooth really hurts
He holds his cheek, pacing back and forth in the room
But he can't avoid seeing the dentist
The crocodile looks at himself in the mirror, and slowly says, "Do I really have to go"
The dentist sits in the clinic, flipping through the appointment book
A crocodile is coming to see him today
The dentist puts down the book, sighs and says, "Do I really have to go"
The crocodile puts on his coat, opens the door, and walks forward step by step
He keeps his head down, staring at his toes
"I really have to go"
The dentist puts on his white coat, turns on the exam room light
He picks up the mirror and the little hook, and takes a deep breath
"I really have to go"
The crocodile walks through the clinic door
The hallway smells like disinfectant
He looks up and sees the dental room sign, his legs feel a bit weak
"Ah", the crocodile lets out a small cry
The dentist hears footsteps outside the door
He turns around, and sees a huge shadow at the door
"Ah", the dentist also lets out a small cry
The crocodile sits in the treatment chair
The dentist pulls the lamp closer, leaning toward the crocodile's mouth
Both of them open their eyes wide
The crocodile thinks to himself, "I really have to go"
The dentist also thinks to himself, "I really have to go"
The dentist picks up the little mirror, and looks inside the crocodile's mouth
A big cavity, dark and deep
The crocodile opens his mouth wide, showing his sharp teeth
The dentist's hands are shaking a little
The crocodile's mouth is also shaking a little
The dentist picks up the drill, aiming at the bad tooth
"Ouch", the crocodile cries out
He swings his hand, almost hitting the dentist
"Ouch", the dentist also cries out
He steps back, almost falling down
The dentist steadies himself, and leans in again
"Don't be afraid", the dentist says softly
He pats the crocodile's shoulder
"Don't be afraid", the crocodile also says softly
He pats the dentist's arm
The dentist keeps drilling the bad tooth
The grinding sound fills the room
The crocodile grips the armrests of the chair tightly
The dentist grips his tools tightly too
Both of them are trying to hold on
Finally, the drilling is done
The dentist puts down his tools, and wipes the sweat
The crocodile lets go of the armrests, and lets out a long breath
Both of them are exhausted
The dentist starts to fill the tooth
Little by little, he fills the material into the cavity
The crocodile keeps his mouth open, not moving at all
The dentist works carefully, filling it bit by bit
The filling is done
The dentist turns off the lamp, and stands up
The crocodile sits up in the chair, moving his jaw around
They look at each other
The dentist says seriously, "You must brush your teeth every day"
The crocodile nods hard, and says seriously, "I will brush my teeth every day"
The crocodile stands up, and walks toward the door
He takes two steps, then turns around
"So I will never forget to brush my teeth"
The dentist also nods, watching the crocodile leave
"So you will never forget to brush your teeth"
The crocodile reaches the door, and pushes it open
"See you next year"
The dentist stands in the exam room, waving his hand
"See you next year"
The crocodile walks on his way home, holding his mouth
He thinks to himself, "I never want to see him again"
The dentist sits in the clinic, putting away his tools
He also thinks to himself, "I never want to see him again"
