Story
One day, Rheneas was reading a story to Skarloey.

"Goldilocks tied Papa Bear's porridge, but it was too hot," read Rheneas.

Skarloey giggled as Rheneas read. All of a sudden, Rheneas spotted a round green object hurling through the sky and towards Skarloey.

"Skarloey," Rheneas yelled, "look out!"

Skarloey looked up and saw the object flying towards him and it hit him right on the mouth. A cracking sound soon followed.

"Ow," Skarloey cried.

Rheneas rushed over to Skarloey.

"Are you alright, little brother," asked Rheneas.

"I think so," said Skarloey, "what hit me?"

Rheneas picked the object up and examined it.

"It looks like a softball," said Rheneas.

Just then, Thomas, Doki, Ryan, Peter Sam, Rusty, Duncan, and James ran over. Doki, Ryan, Thomas, Rusty, Duncan, and Peter Sam were all wearing softball equipment while James was wearing an umpire mask with a Cincinnati Reds cap.

"Oh my gosh," said Doki, "I'm so sorry!"

"You're sorry," said Ryan, "I'm the one who hit the ball, so it's my fault!"

"Well, I suggested we even play softball in the first place, said Doki, "so I'm the one to blame!"

"Time out," James yelled.

"Hey, what's all the yelling about," said a voice.

It was Edward. He had heard everything and came outside to investigate.

"Well," said Rheneas, "I was reading to Skarloey when he got hit in the mouth by a softball."

"It was an accident," Doki cried.

"Now, hold on," said Edward, "everybody calm down."

Edward turned to Skarloey.

"Skarloey," said Edward, "let me see your mouth."

Skarloey opened his mouth as wide was enginely possible, and when Edward looked inside, he chuckled.

"Hey, guys," said Edward, "there's nothing to worry about!"

"Really," asked Ryan.

"Yeah," said Edward, "it's just a baby tooth that got knocked loose."

"Is that a bad thing," asked Skarloey.

"Not really," said Edward, "All little engines start to loose their baby teeth at this age. It just means you're growing up."

"Oh," said Skarloey.

"But," said James, "there is a plus side to losing teeth."

"There is," asked Skarloey.

"Yup," said Edward, "when you lose a tooth, you get to put it under your pillow for the Tooth Fairy, and she'll leave a surprise for you in its place, most of the time it's money."

"Oh yeah," said Doki, "I remember the last time I lost a tooth. The Tooth Fairy left me a Hamilton, which I used to buy a LEGO Star Wars sticker book."

"Cool," said Skarloey, "do you think it's possible the Tooth Fairy might leave me something?"

"Does a zebra have stripes," James asked.

Skarloey giggled.

"Yes," said Skarloey.

"Then the Tooth Fairy will leave you something," said James.

"Great," said Skarloy, "I'm so excited!"
