Tooth Fairy

Jenny snuggled under her blanket with her eyes wide open.

“I will stay awake. Oh, I want to see the fairy,” she muttered sleepily.

That afternoon in school, her milk tooth had wiggled and turned for the last time. It
fell on a page of the book that Jenny was reading. Now she had a space just as most of her
schoolmates had, right in the middle of her beautiful grin.

Before going to bed that night, Jenny put the tooth under her pillow to see whether a
fairy would take it away and leave a surprise in its place. She wanted to stay awake but her
eyelids dropped and closed.

The room was still quiet. Then, a tinkle, like the sound of a music box, filled the air.
Out of the darkness, the shiniest little fairy floated into the room. She knelt down beside
Jenny’s pillow and found the hidden tooth.

The fairy dropped the tooth into a golden purse and whispered, “Now I have another
pearl for my queen’s necklace. Thanks to you Jenny. Out of gratitude, I will leave you this
coin. It will be your reward and will bring you luck, Jenny.” The music began again, and the
fairy fluttered away.

“Wake up, Child,” Jenny’s mother bent over her.

Before she opened her eyes, Jenny reached under the pillow. She was surprised when
she felt something there. When she saw the coin, she sat up smiling.

“Mother,” she cried, “did the fairy come or was I dreaming?”

Mother smiled and said, “You want to believe that she came, don’t you? So why don’t
we just make believe that she did?”

With that thought, Jenny just smiled.

“But I saw her, Mother. I just don’t know how. I wish I didn’t fall asleep,” she said
winking at Mother. “Oh, well, I still have baby teeth anyway!”
