Brushing Teeth

On one recent cool spring evening Asher's elephant heard Asher's mom tell Asher he had to brush his teeth. Asher's elephant remembered that he needed to brush his teeth too; in fact he had not brushed them in a while! Oh my, cried Asher's elephant,  I have to brush my teeth or they will turn purple and fall out! Asher's elephant sat for a moment and thought of where his toothbrush was; then remembered it was behind his ear. He reached up and pulled a huge orange toothbrush from behind his left ear. Next Asher's elephant went over to his bucket and dipped his toothbrush in water and then squeezed toothpaste on it. Now Asher's elephant tried to pick up his toothbrush with his feet and realized he couldn't grab it. Asher's elephant thought, how will I brush my teeth if I can't pick-up my toothbrush with my feet? If I don't brush my teeth they will turn purple and fall out! Asher's elephant was growing sad. Suddenly Asher's elephant remembered he could use his trunk, so he picked up his toothbrush and was happy. Asher's elephant opened his mouth wide and he brushed all his top teeth, and brushed all his bottom teeth. He brushed them on the inside and he brushed them on the outside.  He brushed his tongue and he brushed his gums. Then he put down his toothbrush and took in a huge slurp of water, so much water that his cheeks puffed out. Then Asher's elephant gargled, and he gargled, and he gargled; gargle, gargle, gargle, SPIT!
