Tooth Fairy

Jenny snuggled under the blanket with her eyes wide open.
“I will stay awake. Oh, I want to see the fairy,” she muttered sleepily.
That afternoon in school, her milk tooth had wiggled and turned for
the last time. It fell on a page of the book that Jenny was reading. Now she
had a space just as most of her schoolmates had, right in the middle of her
beautiful grin.
Before going to bed that night, Jenny put the tooth under her pillow to
see whether a fairy would take it away and leave a surprise in its place. She
wanted to stay awake, but her eyelids drooped and closed.

The room was still quiet. Then, a tinkle, like the sound of a music
box, filled the air. Out of the darkness, the shiniest little fairy anyone could 6
imagine, floated into the room. She knelt beside Jenny’s pillow and found
the hidden tooth.
The fairy dropped the tooth into a golden purse and whispered, “Now I
have another pearl for my queen’s necklace. Thanks to you Jenny. Out of
gratitude, I will leave you this coin. It will be your reward and will bring
you luck, Jenny.” The music began again, and the fairy fluttered away.
“Wake up, child,” Jenny’s mother bent over her.
Before she opened her eyes, Jenny reached under the pillow. She was
surprised when she felt something there. When she saw the coin, she sat
up smiling.
“Mother,” she cried, “did the fairy come or was I dreaming?”
Mother smiled and said, “You want to believe that she came, don’t
you? So why don’t we just make believe that she did?”
With that thought, Jenny just smiled.
“But I saw her, Mother. I just don’t know how. I wish I didn’t fall
asleep,” she said winking at Mother. “Oh, well, I still have baby teeth
anyway!”

One Sunday, the Torres family traveled on a wide road. In the car were
Mr. And Mrs. Torres, Shirley and her brother, Peter. They saw many trees,
high hills, and mountains along the highway. As they traveled, they noticed
that the road was becoming wider and longer. They could not wait to reach
their destination.

At last, they arrived at Donna’s place. Donna and her parents were
happy to meet them.

“Your place is very nice. The air here is fresher than the city,” said Mr.
Torres. “The trees around are taller than those along the highway,” remarked
Mrs. Torres. “But the tallest trees are in that mountain. Is that the highest
mountain in the Philippines?” asked Peter as he pointed at the mountain.
“No, that is Mt. Arayat. The highest mountain is Mt. Apo. It is in Davao,”
answered Donna. “Let us climb the mountain, “said Shirley.

“Come in and rest a while. I know you are very tired because you have
just come from a long trip,” said Donna’s mother. “We have prepared some
