A Tightwad Tooth Fairy Called Griselda

There was a tightwad tooth fairy and Griselda was her name. When you had your teeth out and put them under the pillow she would come along and pinch them and leave nothing in return. You would wake up in the morning; look under your pillow for some dosh, but under your pillow was empty there. As you looked at the empty space, you knew straight away that Griselda the tightwad tooth fairy had been about. Complaints followed complaints to fairly land about this tightwad tooth fairy. The fairy council had never heard of such a thing. A tightwad tooth fairy. Oh, this could never be. They had never had a case of a tooth fairy leaving no money. Something had to be done. Griselda was called and stood before the council and asked to explain why she was a tightwad and left no money behind. The miserly tooth fairy thought for a moment. She was saving some money to buy herself a fairy yacht, only it took a lot of teeth to purchase one of them. For her crimes, she was sent to work with Santa’s Elves. She sits in the toy factory banging happily away, because if the truth were known she didn’t want to be a tooth fairy anyway. 5 May 2008
