My memorable loss! (published intra-school)




Somethings are memorable and we can rarely forget them! Like the first flight, the first elephant ride, the first boat ride and the day when we lose our first tooth.


On the 23rd May 2015, I felt a pain in my lower jaw and I also felt a little shake in my mouth. As it pained, I cried. My mom asked me why am I crying, and as I didn’t know what was happening, I told my mom about the pain and showed my shaking tooth with the help of my tongue to my mother.


Thanks to the lesson – A Visit to A Dentist in English RC Level 14, now I know that tooth which was shaking was one of my central incisors. My mom, politely and gently, asked me not to disturb the tooth and if possible ignore the pain. But she also asked me to carefully collect the tooth when it falls as on that day a tooth fairy would visit me.

I could not take my mind away from the tooth. My tongue kept disturbing it. I tried to go out and play, but my mind was still on the tooth. A day passed by. The next day also passed by. A couple of days passed by. Now and then I checked on the mirror to see whether the tooth was still there.


Finally, it was on the 29th May 2015, when I was eating groundnuts, I bit on something hard. When I spit it my hand I saw that it was my tooth. I ran into my house with the tooth. My mom washed the tooth carefully and put it in a small box. As I went to bed, she placed it under my pillow.


Next day morning I was excited to see that the tooth fairy had indeed come home and placed a silver coin in the box. Ever since I have been careful whenever my tooth shakes. I have collected 14 silver coins thus far and eagerly looking forward to collecting another 10 – 12 coins.
