Reread the story, ‘The Boy Who Hated Toothbrushes’

Billy hated toothbrushes.

He had tried them all. . . green ones, blue ones, stripy ones, spotty ones, knobbly ones, wiggly ones, mum’s one, dad’s one, telephone ones, animal ones and spaceman ones.

But he wouldn’t brush his teeth. There were too many other things to do.

Billy? Where are you? He would do anything to get out of brushing his teeth!

One day, Billy had a wobbly tooth. It wobbled and wobbled, until it fell out.

So he left it under his pillow for the tooth fairy.

When he woke up, he found. . .

A tooth sparkler, eh?

It had something magical about it. . . He could play golf. . . He could paint with it. . .

In fact, it was really quite cool using his tooth sparkler. Even brushing his teeth was fun!

Soon, Billy had the sparkliest smile in town. Billy loved toothbrushes. . .
