LESSON 61 THE SAD TOOTH
THE SAD TOOTH
1. It was a cold windy day.
Fred was glad to get home and sit in a cosy room.
2. Mother let him turn on the wire-less.
3. Fred heard a sweet tune and then a wee voice calling to him.
4. It said, "Fred, can you hear me?"
Yes, said Fred, "but I cannot see you."
5. "No," said the voice, "I am a tiny elf, playing in your radio-set.
I often call to you but you do not hear me.
You were very still just now, that is why you heard."
6. "Can you hear some-one crying?" asked Fred.
Yes, said the elf. "It is that little front tooth of yours. It has cried all day."
7. "Why?" asked Fred.
You did not brush it and make it shine, said the elf.
8. Fred felt un-happy.
Oh, dear! he said, "I did forget to use my brush.
9. Poor little tooth! I shall make you shine at once, and all the others as well."
10. Fred never forgets to brush his teeth now, both night and morning.
They shine when he smiles.
Do yours?
