THE GOOD FAIRY

WHEN AS A CHILD YOU LOSE A TOOTH, IF YOU PUT IT UNDER YOUR PILLOW
THE SAME NIGHT, THE GOOD FAIRY WILL COME AND TAKE THE TOOTH AND
REPLACE IT WITH MONEY.

Submitter comment: KEYPUNCHERS COMMENT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER CARDS ON THE TOOTH
FAIRY IN THE CARD FILES. THEY ARE ALL ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, WITH
SOME DIFFERENCES AS TO THE REWARD. IT COULD BE GOLD, OR A PRESENT
OF SOME SORT, OR MONEY SUCH AS DIMES AND QUARTERS.
