She ran downstairs shouting, “Mother” while clutching her new present. It was tiny, exquisite and it was just thing that a fairy would bring. She was surprised to note that her tooth had gone and in her place was a tiny silver thimble. The first thing she did was to reach under her pillow and check the box containing her tooth. The next morning, when Angelica woke up, she could hardly contain her excitement. However, she remembered that her mother had told her, that the tooth fairy never comes, until all the members of the house are fast asleep. She was too excited to sleep and lie wide-awake. Before she went to sleep that night, Angelica tucked the box under her pillow. She carefully washed the extracted tooth and put it in a box. However, when she put her fingers where the tooth was, there was a slight numbness. Within seconds, her mother had extracted the tooth. Now, she was all set to remove her tooth. And, if she gets the time, I am sure she will also leave a present for you,” told her mother. Besides, the fairy is a very busy person and she has to visit many places. “Will I also get a present,” asked Angelica?” “You should, if you place your tooth under your pillow tonight. The fairy comes at night, takes the tooth, and leaves a present in its place,” told her mother. However, you have to put that tooth under your pillow at night, before you go to sleep. “She is a tiny person, who brings presents to those children, whenever they lose their baby or milk teeth. “Ah, now that’s a story, I forgot to tell you,” said her mother. “Who is this tooth fairy? And, why does she bring presents?” Therefore, she asked her mother more about the tooth fairy. Now Angelica liked presents and did not want to miss one. Because, you are going to miss the present that the tooth fairy will bring for you, in exchange of for your baby tooth. She said, “It is sad that you will not let me extract your tooth. Therefore, her mother decided to play a trick on her. She tried to pacify Angelica, but she shut her mouth and looked the other side. Finally, when she found her, she burst out laughing. Her mother was searching for her frantically. Therefore, on the day that her mother had planned to remove her tooth, she ran into the garden and hid there. She thought it was going to hurt very badly. The thought of her losing her teeth petrified her. Therefore, she decided to pull it out herself. Angelica’s mother got worried that she might accidentally swallow her tooth. Within few days, the tooth became very lose and finally it just about was delicate. I think, we will have to wait for few more days.” She touched Angelica’s lose tooth and said, “It is wobbly and lose alright, but it is not ready to drop. Then her momma said, “Now, let us have a look at your tooth.” Now that she was growing up, these teeth would all fall off and be replaced by a stronger set of permanent teeth in their place. She explained to Angelica that the present teeth in her mouth were baby teeth or milk teeth. “Mother,” she cried, “why is some of my teeth wobbling?”īut her Momma was the least worried and in fact, she was smiling. She could not believe what was happening to her teeth. She stopped brushing and felt the teeth with her fingers and she was surprised that it was wobbly and lose. One morning, Angelica was brushing her teeth, when she felt one or her teeth wobbling and she was a bit taken aback. This story is her encounter with the tooth fairy. However, what she did not know was about the tooth fairy. She could count up to hundred, knew her alphabets, read a little and what not. At that age, she thought she knew just about everything in the world.
