In the science class yesterday, they had learned about cavities. While doing his homework one evening, another idea popped into his head. Poor Ali could not chew food for one whole week!Ī few more days passed. Not only did the cold pair of metal pliers leave a bizarre taste in his mouth but now he had a bruised tongue as well. On the fourth try, he accidentally yanked the edge of his tongue instead and shrieked with pain. He braced himself and gently grasped a tooth but chickened out as he was about to pull on it. The very next day, he went to his dad’s toolbox closet and pulled out a pair of scary-looking pliers. Poor Ali was not allowed to touch the mailbox ever again!īut Ali was not ready to give up. One day he got really upset and slammed the tiny mailbox door so hard that it broke. “Honey, the post office is closed now,” his mother said while glancing at the clock. “I promise I will mail your letter first thing in the morning.”ĭays passed and Ali started checking the mailbox every afternoon but the letter from the tooth fairy never came. “Mama, can you please take me to the post office?” he asked impatiently. Then he rushed to find his mother who was busy baking brownies in the kitchen. After writing his name on the top, he sealed the flap by licking the adhesive strip. He placed the letter inside an envelope and addressed it To the Kingdom of Tooth Fairies. When will my first baby tooth fall? Please visit me soon. So, he wrote a letter to the tooth fairy: One day, he decided it was time to take matters into his own hands. Oh, how Ali longed to be toothless!Įvery day, he tugged his bottom molars, hoping to find at least one wiggly tooth and every night he would go to bed disappointed. Although the gap-toothed kids looked creepy when they smiled, all the gifts that the tooth fairy left under their pillows made it worthwhile. The precious teeth were sent home by the school nurse enclosed in cute tiny paper bags sealed with shark stickers, making the kids feel extra special. Most kids in his class were losing teeth right and left. ![]() The tooth fairy had still not visited him. A wave of happiness fluttered inside him but a part of him also felt sad. There was a blue remote-controlled air drone, a lovely sand-art kit, a huge red-coloured car truck carrier and some books. His little fire-engine desk was piled high with colourfully wrapped presents.
