177. The Tardy Tooth Fairy

After months of wobbling and fiddling and nudging, the little white nugget finally falls out.

Slipping it in a bright yellow envelope, a little girl places it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.

It’s dark when little eyes open and a little hand feels under the pillow.

“Mummy my tooth is still here!”

“She’s just late,” says mummy, “Back to bed.” Scooping up her little girl, Mummy puts her back to bed and slips a yellow envelope under her pillow.

A short time later, Mummy hears a cry of delight.

“You were right, the tooth fairy was just late!”
