Transcription: And right there and then Tari, the white bird with black spots, a bird a touch bigger than a dove and a bit smaller than a peewit, performed such a marvelous thing that all the creatures simply gaped in wonder. She flew bravely right towards Crocodile's TERRIBLE MOUTH, right up to his nose, and commanded "Open your mouth!" Everybody gasped and moved back a step because Crocodile's mouth --you haven't forgotten--was TERRIBLE and it was full of VERY TERRIBLE TEETH.
