CHAPTER 10
Dear Tooth Fairy …
As soon as we got home from Chilly Willy’s, I ran upstairs and started digging through the piles of junk in my room for a piece of paper. I finally found a piece under my bed and licked a smudge of chocolate off one corner.
“There, good as new. Now I just need to find a pencil.”
I grabbed one out of my backpack and sat down on my bed to think. I was about to start writing when I remembered that I really didn’t know how to spell very well.
“SUZIE!” I yelled.
I heard her footsteps in the hall. “What?”
“Can you help me write this letter to the Tooth Fairy? I need you to tell me how to spell the words.”
“What’s in it for me?” Suzie asked.
“I’ll give you my snack money for a whole week.”
“It’s a deal,” she said, and we locked pinkies. “Pinkie swear?” she said.
“Pinkie swear,” I said.
“OK, what do you want to say?”
I wrote the letter, and Suzie told me how to spell the words.
“Sure. Just remember, I get your snack money tomorrow.”
“I remember. Good night.”
“Good night.”
Suzie left the room, and then I carefully folded up the letter and stuck it under my pillow.
“Oh, I hope she comes,” I whispered to my stuffed animals—Bobo, Buster, and Bananas.
