What Needs to be Done

So you have decided to take the quest, we know you will be the best. 
There is some work to be done, we know you will you have fun.  
You need your friends, to get to the end.
You know what this is about, the tasks are all spelled out.

The dentist is missing. Was the crocodile hissing? No forwarding address he 
disappeared in a snap! He was standing in the crocodile's lap! Was it foul 
play? Will he be gone all day? To locate the missing dentist we need more 
facts!!  That's what this investigation lacks! Could he really fit in a 
crocodile’s mouth? Maybe he just moved to the south. If he had 12 more teeth 
to 
pull, how many did he pull already?  Oh some of this sounds so petty.  What 
about the crocodile? Is he listed in a file? We need his background too, 
you as researchers should do.  Is he a suspicious, would he find the dentist 
delicious?  Could he have fit n the dentist's chair?  Take the quest to find 
out if you dare.

What do we know?  What can we find out?  

There is the possibility that the dentist moved to a deserted house, 
somewhere with a frog and mouse.  We must go and see, where could he be?  
What about the animals that live there, the frog seems out of place.  Let’s 
question him, he has an odd smile on his face! Is he young or old, we 
need the facts, they must be told.  Is he tame, or is he to blame?  

What do we know?  What can we find out?

Was the Gooloo in the house too?  What might he do.  Interview his cousins 
and friends, out into the wilds the ornithologist we'll send.  Track down 
these creatures, find out about their features.  Let’s figure it out, you'll 
do your best, no doubt!

What do we know?  What can we find out?


Your overall job is to look at all of the information you and your friends 
can gather.  Review your facts and predictions along the way.  Have 
discussions and share the facts.  Each of you will need to provide a well 
documented report, answering the questions listed under your job title.  Read 
them all to each other or to yourselves.  At the end of your individual, 
factual report, describe in detail what you believe may have happened to the 
dentist.  Use facts you and your friends have complied, be convincing!  Have 
fun!
