The he roared, “I AM CAPTAIN CAVITY! Actually, I have many names. “Hello, little children-wondering where your dentist is, hmmm?” He pulled out a mirror and gazed lovingly at his blackened, crooked, and broken teeth. McKesson had time to wonder only, “What’s going on…?” before the man on the screen began to cackle like the villain from a story book. They looked at each other across the room and shuddered. His evil grin was also hideous because his teeth were so awful! Never had Marcus and Sarah seen such terrible chompers.

The very scary man stared out at them from the TV he grinned evilly. Then, suddenly, there was a close-up of a very scary looking man.

She hurried over to the DVD player and pressed play.

Howard can’t be here today, we’re going to watch a short video about how to take care of your adult teeth, okay?” “I’m sure the tooth fairy is just running a little late and will visit you all tonight. First the tooth fairy and now the dentist? Something fishy was going on. Everyone loudly demanded to know why the tooth fairy hadn’t collected their teeth that week. I just got a memo saying there was an emergency she had to deal with, and she didn’t know when she’d be able to come in.”Īll at once, the kids’ quiet grumbling ended. Sarah finally asked what everyone was wondering, “Why isn’t the dentist coming today…?” So it’s really important to know how to take care of them.” Those fall out and are replaced by the teeth you’ll have until you’re very old-old like me. McKesson laughed, “I know you’re not babies that’s just the nickname for your first set of teeth. They’re not baby teeth,” Dax muttered from near the back of the classroom. “She was also going to talk about losing your baby teeth and getting your adult teeth.” McKesson said, smiling fondly at her class. I see many of you have lost teeth recently,” Ms. We usually have her come in every June to talk about how care for your teeth over the summer. McKesson?” asked Ella she sat behind Sarah. McKesson told her students that their guest speaker that afternoon had cancelled. Marcus and Sarah had never experienced so glum a lunch break.Īfter lunch, things went from bad to worse. Their silly grins quickly turned back into frowns.Īll around them, their classmates were worried and talking quietly too. She’d planned to buy Marcus his favourite treat-popcorn-on their way home from school with that money! Marcus, of course, had also wanted to surprise Sarah with her favourite treat (also popcorn, of course they are best friends, after all). But what had happened to the tooth fairy? Why hadn’t she come and taken their teeth away? As best friends, of course they would lose the same tooth on the same day they did everything together. They couldn’t help but grin a little at each other then. “Which tooth, Marcus?” Sarah leaned towards him it was the same tooth, the top right one. Marcus looked quiet and sad and old before his time: “Me too,” he whispered. Sarah and Marcus stared at each other, their lunch boxes forgotten. “-the tooth fairy didn’t come to take it away,” Marcus finished for her. Sarah said, “Marcus, I lost a tooth yesterday and put it under my pillow but-”

Sarah had decided the same thing, so when they sat down together in the lunch room the terrible calamity that had occurred was soon revealed. Marcus decided he must tell Sarah why he was sad. Even their teachers could elicit only brief nods or a deflated “Yes, sir” or “Yes, miss.” When the bell rang, everyone shuffled back into the school as though they carried the weight of the world on their shoulders.Īt lunchtime, the doom and gloom deepened it was sunny but it felt like a rain day with storms on the way.

In fact, all the kids on the playground that morning were all a little slouchy, a bit grouchy. And Sarah must have been sad too, because she was hanging out by herself on the other side of the playground. Today, though, Marcus just moped about silently. If the weather was good, like it was that day, they’d meet up to discuss what they’d learned in class that morning, share a snack, and plan what they’d do after school. They were in the same class, but she sat on the other side of the room. Marcus loved recess because then he got to talk to his best friend Sarah. In fact, he was worried and a little sad. McKesson had been reading them his favourite book, Charlotte’s Web-but Marcus wasn’t very happy. His most favourite time of the day was story time. It was recess, Marcus’s second favourite time of the school day. Read this children's story about the adventures of Sarah and Marcus and their encounter with the Tooth Fairy.
