Mr Dunfilling and the Toothy Monster
A lovely joke is the basis of this entertaining story. Mr Dunfilling is a dentist who is asked, by the zoo keeper, to cure the toothache of an animal with ten thousand teeth. He makes elaborate preparations, rumours spread and a protest movement grows to prevent this vicious brute from being let into the surgery. Life is chaos until the animal actually arrives ... well, I won't reveal the twist. Just see if you can guess what the animal is! Recommended for lower juniors who like surprises.
