Five-year-old Cora couldn’t wait to meet the Tooth Fairy. A lover of all things winged and glittery, she was certain the Fairy would be the best magical gift-bearer ever. Even better than old wingless Santa.

One night, as Cora snuggled next to her new puppy, she noticed blood on his mouth. As she leapt from the couch to call her mother, she spied a tiny tooth on the carpet. She snatched it, stashed it in her pocket, and slipped it under her pillow at bedtime. In the morning when she woke, Cora found a dog biscuit where the tooth had been.
