 Tooth Fairy
Jenny snuggled under for blanket
with her eyes 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 schoolmate 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
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.”
“Wake up, child.“Jenny’s
mother bent over her.

Before she opened her

eyes, Jenny reached
under the pillows. 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 a baby teeth
anyway:”
