Chapter 1 A Loose Tooth "Guess what?" Katie told JoJo. "I have a loose tooth!" "So do I," said JoJo. "If we wiggle them, they might come out."

第一章 松动的牙齿 “猜猜怎么着？” 凯蒂对乔乔说。 “我有颗牙松动啦！” “我也是，”乔乔说。 “要是我们晃一晃它们，说不定就掉了。”

Katie wiggled her tooth back and forth. So did JoJo. "No luck," said JoJo. "No luck," sighed Katie. "Let's eat a lot of popcorn," said Katie. "That will make our teeth come out." The two of them chewed and chewed. JoJo's tooth fell out! But Katie's stayed put.

凯蒂把牙齿晃来晃去。 乔乔也这么做。 “没成功，”乔乔说。 “没成功，”凯蒂叹了口气。 “咱们多吃点爆米花吧，”凯蒂说。 “那样就能把牙硌下来了。” 她们两个嚼啊嚼啊。 乔乔的牙掉了！ 可凯蒂的牙还好好待在原地。

At bedtime, Katie brushed her tooth a lot, but it didn't fall out. "No tooth for the Tooth Fairy," Katie sighed. Chapter 2 Still No Luck The next day, Miss Winkle asked Katie's class, "Who has lost a tooth?" Everyone raised their hands. Everyone but Katie.

睡觉前，凯蒂使劲刷那颗松动的牙，可它还是没掉。 “牙仙子收不到我的牙了，”凯蒂叹着气说。 第二章 还是没动静 第二天，温克尔老师问凯蒂班上的同学：“谁已经掉过牙啦？” 所有人都举起了手。 所有人都举了，除了凯蒂。

After school, Katie played soccer. She told Pedro, "I'll hit the ball with my head. That will make my tooth come out!" "I love the space between my teeth," Pedro said. "It helps me whistle really loud!" Katie sighed. "I want a space, too."

放学后，凯蒂去踢足球。 她对佩德罗说：“我要用头顶球。 这样我的牙就能撞下来啦！” “我可喜欢我牙齿中间的缝了，”佩德罗说。 “它能帮我吹出特别响的口哨！” 凯蒂叹了口气。 “我也想要个牙缝。”

When the ball came to Katie, she bumped it hard. She scored a goal! But her tooth did not budge. The next day, Katie lost a sock, a button, and her pencil. But she did not lose her tooth.

球滚到凯蒂跟前的时候，她用力一顶。 她进球啦！ 可她的牙纹丝不动。 第二天，凯蒂丢了一只袜子、一颗扣子，还有她的铅笔。 可她就是没掉那颗牙。
