 Tooth Fairy

Jenny snuggled under for 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 leaved a surprise in
its place. She wanted to stay awake, but her
eyelids drooped 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 any could
imagine, 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!”
