Page 19 - Lydia and the Tooth Fairy

As Mummy went downstairs to make

breakfast, Lydia looked around her room.

Was it a dream? Or was it real? The Fairy

Dust was there, and the tooth was gone from

the pouch, with a shiny coin in its place. But

Lydia knew that was normal, as it wasn't the

first time she had lost a tooth. She couldn't

quite work it out and spent the whole day

thinking about it.

That night, as Lydia was getting ready for

bed, she looked out of the window and saw a

very bright star in the sky. It was there on its

own for ages until the rest of the stars joined

it. Hmm...she still wasn't sure. It wasn't until

she was bending down to pick up the book

which had fallen from her bedside cabinet,

that she saw it. There, caught on the thorn of

a rose in the vase, was a tiny scrap of

daffodil coloured fabric.
