The Tooth Fairy - The belief of young children that when they leave a tooth that fell out under their pillow, the Tooth Fairy will visit them when they were asleep to take their tooth and leave money in return for it. I remember my youngest daughter being so scared everytime she lost a tooth. She had this impression that the Tooth Fairy was a hideous and ugly thing, more like a wicked witch, I think.
Anyhow, an ad is running on Australian TV where a little boy, about 6 years old, goes to his grandmother with his tooth in his hand.
Little boy: Look Grandma, I lost a tooth.
Grandmother: Oh! Well, leave your tooth under your pillow and the Tooth Fairy will leave you money for that.
Nightfall comes and the boy is in his bed but not asleep. Grandma, however, was fast asleep in her bedroom. He creeps out of his room and tiptoes into Grandma's room. Why do you think?
He quietly goes to the glass sitting on Grandma's bedside table and carefully pulls her dentures from the glass and creeps back to his room and puts the dentures under his pillow before he closes his eyes.
Moral of the Story: How to get rich-er quicker!
