5. The Tooth

The Last Story - The Tooth

One day when George was skating to Martha’s house, he tripped and fell. And he broke off his right front tooth. His favorite tooth too.

When he got to Martha’s, George cried his eyes out. “Oh dear me!” “I look so funny without my favorite tooth!”
“There, there,” said Martha.

The next day George went to the dentist. The dentist replaced George’s missing tooth with a lovely gold one.

When Martha saw George’s lovely new tooth, she was very happy. “George!” She exclaimed. “You look so handsome and distinguished with your new tooth!”

And George was so happy too. “That’s what friends are for,” he said. “They always look on the bright side and they always know how to cheer you up.”

“But they also tell you the truth,” said Martha with a smile.
