This article is taken from Fairyland's favourite newspaper, "The Midnight Messenger". It is written by a magical journalist called the Gossiping Ghost, who set out to catch up with the Tooth Fairy.

Tooth Fairy tours all teeth!
We've sent the Gossiping Ghost rushing around after the Tooth Fairy this January, to find out what she’s up to…

I’ve followed the Tooth Fairy all over the place this month and I’m exhausted! She has been dashing around at top speed, checking all the children’s teeth while they sleep to make sure they’re nice and clean.
“It’s especially important to check these things after Christmas!” she says, “Especially as most children have been eating lots of chocolates and sweets.”
She has been whizzing around the world ever since Boxing Day and this week she’ll be in England and France. Next week in she’ll visit Wales, then Scotland, then Canada, then Greece. So look out if you live in any of those places and make sure you brush your teeth before bed!
Her friend Flutterdust the moth is flying her around as usual, (she’s a bit too old these days to do all that flying by herself), and I have to say that he looks almost as tired as me.
“Every muscle in my wings is aching!” he muttered to me yesterday at dawn, but the Tooth Fairy insists that the exercise is good for him really, because he spent the whole Christmas holidays wolfing down as much chocolate as he could lay his legs on.
“All this flying will work it off and get him fit again!” she says.

She herself never seems to tire. She is cheerful and lively from dusk until dawn – and the only time she isn’t happy is when she finds teeth which aren’t quite as white as they should be. She has had to scribble a couple of cross notes to leave under one or two pillows, reminding children who don’t brush their teeth properly that she won’t be round to pick them up if they’re rotten. But luckily most children have been very responsible about keeping their teeth clean, and there have only been a handful who have been lazy about it. Given that I’m a ghost, I did offer to wake the lazy ones up and scare them for her, but she didn’t think that was a very nice idea at all and got quite cross with me to tell you the truth.
“Frightening people is a horrid thing to do!” she snapped, “Just because you’re a ghost, it doesn’t mean you can go around being badly behaved.”
That’s me told then. But I think I might go and scare someone anyway, as soon as I’ve finished this article – I need to get away and have some fun. I’ll just make sure it’s someone bad. I hear there are some rotten-hearted goblins about in the North Pole at the moment, in the mountains behind Father Christmas’s house. Perhaps I’ll go there.
