The Tooth Mouse – Short Version – Let’s Read
Once upon a time, in a little village surrounded by hills, there lived a tiny, magical mouse named Misha.
But Misha wasnât an ordinary mouseâshe was the Tooth Mouse!
Every night, she would go from house to house, collecting childrenâs teeth from under their pillows and leaving a shiny coin in return.

One evening, a cheerful girl named Clara lost her first tooth. She was so excited! She carefully put her tooth under her pillow before snuggling into bed.
âTomorrow, Iâll get a shiny coin!â Clara thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Around midnight, when the whole village was quiet, Misha tiptoed into Claraâs room.
She climbed up to the pillow and was about to take the tooth when she noticed something unusualâa little note next to it.
Curious, Misha opened the note. It said:
“Dear Tooth Mouse,
I donât need a coin this time. I have a wish instead. My little brother Tom is sick, and I wish for him to get better.”
Mishaâs tiny heart melted. Clara didnât want a coinâshe wanted to help her brother!

Misha didnât have magic for wishes, but she knew someone who could help.
So, she tucked Claraâs tooth into her little bag and scurried off to the forest.
Deep in the woods lived the Star Fairy, a magical fairy who could grant special wishes.
The forest was dark, but Mishaâs glowing lantern lit the way.
She hurried as fast as her tiny feet could carry her until she reached the Star Fairyâs home. It sparkled like a million stars.

The Star Fairy listened to Mishaâs story and smiled kindly. âWhat a thoughtful sister Clara is,â she said. Then the fairy sprinkled golden star dust into a tiny vial and gave it to Misha.
âTake this to Clara,â the fairy said. âIt will make her wish come true.â
Misha raced back to Claraâs house just as the sun was about to rise. She carefully placed the vial under Claraâs pillow along with a shiny coin and scurried away.
When Clara woke up, she was surprised to find the vial of golden dust!

The End
The Tooth Mouse – A Bedtime Story on Kindness – Detailed Version
In a little village tucked away between rolling green hills, the air was always fresh, and the nights were peaceful.
The houses were small and cozy, with soft lights glowing from the windows as families settled in for a good nightâs sleep.
This village was a place where everyone knew each other, and life moved along quietly and gently.
But in this peaceful village lived a very special mouseâMisha, the Tooth Mouse. She wasnât just any mouse.
Misha had a magical gift that made her unique. Every night, when the moon was high in the sky and everyone was fast asleep, she would go on her nightly mission.
Mishaâs job was a special one. She visited every house where children had lost their teeth and tucked them under their pillows.
Her tiny feet made no sound as she tiptoed from room to room, gently lifting the teeth and placing them in her little pouch.
In exchange, she left behind a shiny coin, a small token of magic to bring joy and excitement to the children when they woke up.
This had been the tradition for as long as anyone could rememberâchildren lost their teeth, and the Tooth Mouse would visit, leaving behind a little gift to celebrate the growing-up magic.
Mishaâs job was important, but it was also a lovely reminder of the wonder in everyday moments.
And every night, as she completed her mission, she would scurry back to her little home in the village, ready to rest and do it all again the next evening.
Claraâs First Tooth
Clara was beyond excitedâshe had just lost her very first tooth! It was a big moment for her, and she couldnât wait for the morning to come.
She carefully placed her tiny tooth under her pillow, imagining the shiny coin Misha the Tooth Mouse would leave in exchange.
Clara smiled to herself as she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the magical coin that would be waiting for her when she woke up.
But that night, Clara had a different idea. As she lay in bed, her thoughts turned to her little brother, Tom, who had been feeling unwell for a while.
Clara loved Tom so much, and she wished with all her heart that he would get better soon. So, instead of asking for a coin, she wrote a note and placed it under her pillow next to her tooth.
The note read:
“Dear Tooth Mouse, I donât need a coin this time. I have a wish instead. My little brother Tom is sick, and I wish for him to get better.”
Claraâs heart felt full as she closed her eyes and hoped her wish would come true.
Little did she know, this simple, kind wish would lead to a magical adventure for her and her family.
Misha’s Kindness
When Misha quietly tiptoed into Claraâs room that night, she was ready to collect the little tooth and leave the shiny coin.
But as she reached the pillow, something caught her eyeâa small note resting beside the tooth. Curious, Misha gently opened it and read the words that Clara had written.
Mishaâs tiny heart melted as she read the note. Clara wasnât asking for a coin at all.
Instead, she was asking for something much more importantâshe wished for her little brother, Tom, to get better.
Misha felt a deep warmth in her heart, touched by Claraâs kindness and love for her brother.
Though Misha had the magic to leave coins for teeth, she didnât have the power to grant wishes. But she wasnât discouraged.
Misha knew that there was someone who could helpâa magical friend who lived deep in the forest.
The Star Fairy, known for granting special wishes, was the one Misha needed to visit.
Without wasting a moment, Misha made up her mind. She would do everything she could to help Clara and her brother.
So, with the note in her little bag and Claraâs tooth carefully tucked away, Misha set off on her journey to find the Star Fairy, determined to make Claraâs wish come true.
The Journey to the Star Fairy
Mishaâs little paws hurried through the quiet, dark forest.
The night was peaceful, but the trees around her seemed to whisper in the wind, adding a sense of mystery to her journey.
In her tiny hands, she held a glowing lantern that lit her path, casting a soft, golden light through the shadows.
The forest was deep and the journey felt long, but Misha was determined to reach the Star Fairy.
As she continued, her heart beat with excitement and hope. She knew the Star Fairy was the only one who could help Claraâs brother.
After what felt like an eternity of walking, Misha finally saw something incredible ahead.
There, right before her, stood the Star Fairyâs home. It wasnât just any houseâit shimmered like a thousand twinkling stars, sparkling in the night sky.
The entire place seemed to glow with magic, and Misha felt a sense of awe wash over her. The Star Fairyâs home was as beautiful and enchanting as the fairy herself.
Misha stepped closer, feeling both excited and a little nervous.
She was about to meet the magical being who could make Claraâs wish come true.
With a deep breath, Misha walked up to the sparkling door and knocked softly, hoping that the Star Fairy would be able to help.
The Star Fairy’s Gift
The Star Fairy listened carefully as Misha shared Claraâs story. She smiled kindly, touched by the little girlâs selfless wish for her brother.
The Star Fairy could see how much Clara cared for Tom, and she knew she had the perfect gift to help.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the Star Fairy reached into her sparkling home and pulled out a tiny vial.
Inside the vial was something magicalâgolden star dust that shimmered and sparkled like a thousand tiny stars.
The Star Fairy handed the vial to Misha, her eyes twinkling.
âThis dust will make Claraâs wish come true,â the Star Fairy said with a warm smile. âWhen you sprinkle it on Tom, it will help him feel better, just as Clara wished. But remember, the magic will only work if the dust is sprinkled gently while heâs asleep.â
Misha felt a wave of gratitude fill her heart. She thanked the Star Fairy and carefully took the vial, feeling the soft glow of the golden dust warm in her paws.
Now, with the Star Fairyâs gift in hand, Misha was ready to make Claraâs wish come true.
Granting the Wish
Misha hurried back to Claraâs house, her tiny feet racing through the early morning mist.
The first rays of sunlight were just beginning to peek over the hills, casting a soft, golden glow across the village.
When Misha reached Claraâs room, she gently lifted the pillow and placed the tiny vial of sparkling stardust underneath it, along with the usual shiny coin.
She made sure everything was perfect, just as Clara had wished.
With a soft, happy sigh, Misha quietly scurried away, feeling a warm glow in her heart. Her mission was complete, and now, all she could do was wait to see the magic unfold.
Tom Gets Better
When Clara woke up the next morning, she was surprised to find the tiny vial of golden dust under her pillow, along with the shiny coin. She couldn’t wait to see what it was!
Curious, Clara carefully sprinkled the sparkling dust over her brother, Tom, who was still sleeping.
By the afternoon, something amazing happenedâTom was awake, smiling, and full of energy! He was laughing, running around the garden, and playing as if he had never been sick at all.
Clara couldnât believe her eyes. She was so happy and knew that the Tooth Mouse had worked magic, just like she had hoped.
A Story of Kindness
Clara was so happy and grateful for what had happened that she couldnât wait to share the story with everyone in the village.
She told all her friends and family about the kind Tooth Mouse who had granted her wish and helped her little brother, Tom.
As for Misha, she continued with her nightly rounds, quietly visiting the village houses.
But every time she collected a tooth or left a shiny coin, she felt a special warmth in her heart. She knew that, in her small way, she was helping bring happiness and magic to the world.
Misha was proud of her important job, and it made her smile to know she was making a difference, one tooth at a time.
