When I was young , I hated to clean my teeth. I used 【1】 find many excuses to go to bed without brushing my teeth.

One day, I read a story about the tooth fairy. It said that if a child put a fallen tooth under the pillow, the tooth fairy would take it away and leave some money at night. I asked my mum, “Is 【2】 really a tooth fairy, Mum?” “Maybe,” my mum smiled and answered. “But your teeth are terrible. The tooth fairy won’t like them.”

Several days later, 【3】 of my teeth fell out. It was yellow with a black hole in it. I rushed into the bathroom and brushed it carefully. After that, I put it under my pillow .

The next day, I woke up early and checked my pillow quickly. The tooth was missing. One dollar with a piece of paper 【4】 under my pillow! It said, “Please protect your teeth more carefully! If you give me a terrible tooth like this again, I won’t take it.”

When I grew 【5】, I knew the tooth fairy was actually my mum, but no one spoke out the truth. Everyone in my family wanted to keep a beautiful fairy tale
