The Story
Cornelius (the crocodile) doesn't just like to eat hands, he has become
a bit of a connoisseur! By the muddy river, he boasts of having eaten hands
of boxers, pianists,and waiters. But when his 'friends' ask him whether
or not he has ever eaten a dentists' hand, Cornelius must confess that he
hasn't. But he promises to do so by the next morning. And so he goes to pay
the dentist a visit...
