昨天早晨儿子起来,又让老爸帮他摇摇已经松动的牙齿。谁知老爸还没用上劲,牙齿就下来了。儿子一看,连出血也顾不上,冲老妈喊开了:“Yahooo, one tooth is off now! 5 dollars as dad promised.”
“Ok, Ok. You better wash your mouth now. There is a lot of blood inside. Any pain?”
“No.”儿子喝了口水,又吐出来。然后就冲老爸说:“Grace said that she got 5 dollars from toothfairylast time because she washed her tooth very clean. Do you think howmuch I can get from toothfairy?”
“I have no idea, that's toothfairy's business. ” 老爸一如既往地装糊涂。
小人儿可不管,洗了一遍又一遍。然后拿个信封包好。到晚上回来,又从信封里拿出来,放到枕头下。到睡觉前,去枕头底下看了几次,还在那里呢。忙着问老爸:“When does the toothfairy come to take the tooth? How much will shegive me this time?”
“No idea. However, she does not want peopleto see her, so I guess she must come in mid-night. You said that youwould get one dollar for each of your bottom tooth. ”
“But I clean it. Grace got 5 dollars.”
“Maybe toothfairy has no 1 dollar bill when she took Grace's tooth. It's the toothfairy who makes the decision.”

今天早晨醒来,一看是两块钱, 脸上还是笑开了花。
