Legend of The Tooth Mouse |
|
For over a century the legend of The Tooth Mouse has been handed down from one generation to the next. This fantasy still brings pleasure to thousands of children across the world.
The Tooth Mouse is a friendly, smart, elegant and extremely creative little mouse. He is devoted to collect every single milk tooth that is lost by young children. The Tooth Mouse is the primary trader and keeper of lost teeth!
Children in many parts of the world faithfully believe in The Tooth Mouse. When losing a milk tooth, they very religiously put the tooth under their pillow, or in a slipper in front of their beds. The Tooth Mouse will then collect it during the night, while they are fast asleep, leaving money (or sometimes even a small gift) in return for the beautiful, shiny, white tooth!
Did You Know?
* The teeth of mice never stop growing. * They have some of the strongest teeth known to man.
Knowing this fact about the teeth of mice, it is indeed a great honour if The Tooth Mouse wants your tooth!!
He then uses all the teeth to build his house and furniture. He also uses the teeth to trade with (instead of money as humans do!) ...this is why the Tooth Mouse needs so many strong, shiny milk teeth!
The better the children look after their teeth, the happier they make The Tooth Mouse!
