00:00Pumpkin Smile by Emily Chikowsky
00:30illustrated by Dawn Peterson
00:36At first they got wiggly, but then they got wobbly, and then they fell out one by one.
00:43Big gaps and wide spaces, no teeth in their places. The tooth fairy's visits were fun.
00:50Hannah thought it was great, then noticed the gape, as well as her tongue sticking through.
01:01I look kind of filly. I don't found the fame. Oh, what did that tooth fairy do?
01:12Hannah still was a cutie, and really a beauty, but she didn't think so at all.
01:18Her mom said, it's slow, but the new ones will grow. You should have them, I think, by the fall.
01:28I know what I'll do. My tongue won't thick through if I never smile anymore.
01:35Then she closed her mouth tight. No teeth were in sight until they would look like before.
01:40No smiles at the jokes she heard from her folks. She claimed that the jokes were all bad.
01:51She just didn't buckle, with even a chuckle. Instead, she would look rather sad.
02:01The fall leaves got wiggly, and then they got wobbly. They fell off the trees one by one,
02:08with branches all bare and frost everywhere. The time came for Halloween fun.
02:17Hannah thought it was great, then looked at the gape, and saw her tongue still sticking through.
02:25Well, isn't this something? I look like a pumpkin. Oh, what in the world will I do?
02:31For Halloween night, with candles so bright, jack-o'-lanterns were real works of art.
02:38The one that was best would win a contest, but Hannah refused to take part.
02:48No idea could she find for her pumpkin design, till Dad said, I know what we'll do.
02:55Come sit for a while, and show me that smile. We'll carve it to look just like you.
03:05Now, slowly she brightened, her sweet face untightened. She grinned a big grin ear to ear.
03:13Then quickly they worked to carve out that smirk, in time for the contest so near.
03:18The bonfire that night was such a delight. Hannah's pumpkin won by a mile.
03:25But she knew the best, above all the rest, was really her own pumpkin smile.
