Perez The Mouse

Once upon a time, there was a tiny and brave mouse named Pérez. He lived in a box of cookies in a city with his family. What made Pérez special was his very important job: he was the Tooth Collector.

Every time a child in the city lost a tooth, they would place it under their pillow before going to sleep. That's when Pérez would spring into action. He was so small and quiet that he could visit the children's rooms without anyone noticing.

Pérez was not just any mouse; he was very tidy and polite. He always wore a tiny hat and carried a small backpack for the teeth. When a child placed their lost tooth under the pillow, Pérez would skillfully replace it with a small gift or a shiny coin while they were asleep.

Children loved Pérez because he made losing a tooth exciting. They knew that if they took good care of their teeth, Pérez would be extra generous.

One night, a little girl named Lucia lost her first tooth. She was a bit scared but remembered her parents telling her about Pérez. So, she placed her tooth under the pillow and tried to stay awake to meet him. But Pérez was very clever; he waited until Lucia was sound asleep. Then, he quietly swapped her tooth for a beautiful shiny coin.

The next morning, Lucia found the coin and was so happy. She knew Pérez had visited. From then on, every child in the city looked forward to losing their teeth, knowing that the brave and kind Pérez would visit with a surprise.

And so, El Ratón Pérez became a beloved friend to all the children, always reminding them to take good care of their teeth and to believe in a little bit of magic.
