He makes the elephant go to sleep. He looks inside its mouth. One tooth is in the wrong position. It is not moving right. A part of it is breaking off. There is an infection around the tooth, too.

The dentist takes the tooth out. The elephant is better now.

Difficult words: keeper (a person who helps zoo animals).
