NAME:

the loose teeth

The twin zebras Zig and Zag aren't talking as much as they usually do. Each of them is missing the first baby tooth. They get so busy wiggling their loose teeth that they don't have much time to talk. After sitting for a while on the sofa in the living room, still busy rocking, Zig finally decides to speak:
“I was wondering if mine will fall out before bedtime tonight, so I can put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy to take it and leave me a present. - And she rocks him again.

“Me too.” That's all Zag has time to say.
More time passes.
– Zig and Zag, come to dinner – calls Mom.
They go to the table, sit down and start eating.
– It hurts a little when I chew it – complains Zag
– I know, Zag. I know how it is. His tooth goes when it's ready. Just chew on the other side tonight – Mom smiles.
Suddenly, Zig lets out a scream, and then shows a baby tooth for everyone to see.
- He fell! - she screams.
Zag feels bad. She continues to shake her teeth. It's almost bedtime. Suddenly, Zag yells:
– Hoooooo!
- Just look! It's so tiny! – she exclaims.
Now the two sisters have little teeth to leave for the tooth fairy. Will she come?
