"Arthur Tricks the Tooth Fairy"'s characters are Arthur and D.W. Arthur is D.W.'s brother.
One day's morning, he finds a dollar from under his pillow. He says to her, "look, the Tooth Fairy left it for me!" He is very happy. D.W. asks Arthur, "but why?", and he says, "she takes baby teeth from me and leaves money." She is jealous of him, "that's goofy", says D.W. So she tries to deceive for getting money. She lies him, "my tooth is loose!", but Arthur knows it is not truth and he says, "no you didn't, you are too young to lose teeth." "Not fair!", says D.W. One day's evening, Arthur comes back to home and hears that house was very noisy, like slam! Slam! SLAM!! and he goes D.W.'s door and he says, "what are you doing?", and she answers, "pulling out my loose tooth." Of course he stops her. But that night D.W. says, "mom, my tooth needs to be pulled out because I have a toothache." At the time Arthur says, "no, mom. she's making it up", but she says, "am not!" But their mother says, "o.k. guys, let me talk. If her tooth still hurts tomorrow, we'll visit the dentist on our way to the museum." Next day, they go to the dentist, but the doctor says, "her tooth are perfect, I don't think the Tooth Fairy will visit you for a year or two." But she can't stop to think about teeth and she gets an cool idea. She buys a shark's tooth at the museum shop. She put it under the her pillow and Arthur knows about it because she tells him but he decides that and he takes out the teeth and put a dollar near her pillow that night, of course during she is sleeping. The next morning, she runs and jumps around and says, "look! Look what the Tooth Fairy left me!", and sings, "I tricked the Tooth Fairy! I tricked the Tooth Fairy!" She looks so happy, and her smile makes Aurthur happy too.


In this story's truth is Aurthur tricks D.W., but who put a dollar under the his pillow? That is the question of me. I can't understand. But I like him because he is a nice brother of D.W. Don't you think so? (423/7697words)
