Satan's Got My Tooth

My Mama, had a big rooster named satan who loved to chase you and he
would flog you too, so when we went outside we always made sure that
satan was nowhere in the area.Mama wouldn't hear of getting rid of him
because he was so good at his job, and the hens were very happy with
him.

My little sister Cathy two years younger than
me was so afraid of this rooster that she wouldn't go outside by
herself.I was afraid of him too so I carried a big stick wherever I
went.Cathy had a loose tooth and didn't want Mama, to know about it she
knew from watching me that come here, i'm just going to look at it, i'm
not going to hurt you, was a trick.As soon as you opened your mouth,
out came her hand with your loose tooth she was that
fast.

Cathy worked on that tooth for days poking it
almost out with her tongue, when it would bleed a little she would get
scared and stop messing with it.Even when we told her she might swallow
it in her sleep and it could kill her,(well that's what they told us)
she still wouldn't show Mama.

One morning bright and
early Mama, and Daddy were both outside and Cathy's tooth fell out, she
was so excited because now she would put it under her pillow and get a
nickle from the tooth fairy. Without thinking, she ran out of the house
to show Mama that she had lost a tooth. She ran out yelling Mama guess
what? and satan ran straight at her knocking her to the ground making
her drop her tooth, which he grabbed and ran away
with.

She was screaming so loud we all thought she
was dying.Everybody was running to see what had happened to her,
finally she stopped screaming and told Mama what had happened to her
tooth and now the tooth fairy, couldn't take it and leave her a nickle
just on account of satan she said.Mama said if we left the tooth fairy
a note she would probably understand and leave the nickle
anyway.

We thought the day would never end she
wanted to get to bed so the tooth fairy would find her note, and leave
her a nickle. Next morning there it was, note gone and a shiny nickle
in it's place. "Why don't you leave her a note Peewee, maybe you'll get
a nickle too" she said. "I didn't loose a tooth" I told her. "So the
tooth fairy don't know that" she said. Now why didn't I think of
that.
