Tim and the Tooth Fairy

Tim and the Tooth Fairy

Beth had a wobbly tooth. It had wobbled and wobbled for weeks. One day, Beth bit into a big red apple. Her wobbly tooth came out. "Wow!" said Beth. "Now the tooth fairy will come, and I will get a coin."

At bedtime, Beth put the tooth under her pillow and went to sleep. The next morning, Beth looked under her pillow. The tooth was gone and in its place, there was a shiny coin.

"I've got a coin!" said Beth. "The tooth fairy gave me a coin!" "I want a coin, too," said Tim. "Your teeth aren't wobbly yet," said Mum. All day, Tim pushed and pulled his teeth, but not one tooth was wobbly.

Tim had an idea. He got out his modelling clay and made a toy tooth. "I'll put this under my pillow," he said. "Then the tooth fairy will come and give me a coin." "The tooth fairy only takes real teeth,"said Beth. "She won't give you a coin for a toy tooth." "Yes, she will," said Tim.

At bedtime, Tim put the toy tooth under his pillow. He went to sleep and dreamed about the tooth fairy. Beth couldn't sleep. She knew the tooth fairy wouldn't come and Tim would be upset in the morning. Beth went downstairs to see Mum. She told Mum about the toy tooth. "The tooth fairy won't come, will she, Mum?" said Beth. "Let's wait and see," said Mum.
