[edit] Plot for Long in the Teeth

Norb starts growing his teeth long despite Dag's concerned worries, as well as an instructional videotape claiming that if beavers don't chew, their teeth can grow so long and lock up their jaw, or go through their brain. Norb ignores this, and makes various attempts to get Norb's teeth back to normal length. Eventually Norb becomes partially convinced, until the forest animals, lead by Big Rabbit, compliment his look. A fad breaks out, and eventually Dag is swept in. The powers of nature, however, end up forcing in on Dag and Norb at the end.
