Paul ma sześć lat. Ma ruszający się ząb. Ząb jest z przodu, na górze, na środku.

Paul is six. He has a wobbly tooth. The tooth is at the front, at the top, in the middle.

Paul rusza zębem językiem. Ząb idzie do przodu. Paul znowu rusza. Ząb idzie do tyłu. Ale nie wypada.

Paul wiggles it with his tongue. The tooth moves forward. Paul wiggles it again. The tooth moves back. But it won’t come out.

W szkole Lisa ma przerwę po zębie. Jonas ma dwie przerwy. A Ali ma nawet trzy przerwy. Tylko Paul nie ma jeszcze przerwy.

At school Lisa has a gap. Jonas has two gaps. And Ali even has three gaps. Only Paul has no gap yet.

„Zębowa wróżka przychodzi do Aliego”, mówi Lisa. „Każdą noc. Ali jest bogaty”.

“The tooth fairy comes to Ali,” says Lisa. “Every night. Ali is rich.”

Paul też chce przerwę po zębie. I też chce zębową wróżkę.

Paul wants a gap too. And he wants the tooth fairy too.

W domu pyta mamę. „Mamo, jak ząb wychodzi?”

At home he asks Mum. “Mum, how does the tooth come out?”

„Zjedz jabłko”, mówi mama. „Duże, twarde jabłko”.

“Eat an apple,” says Mum. “A big, hard apple.”

Paul je jabłko. Gryzie mocno. Ząb rusza się. Ale zostaje w środku. Paul je jeszcze jedno jabłko. I jeszcze jedno. Teraz Paula boli brzuch. Ale ząb wciąż tam jest.

Paul eats an apple. He bites hard. The tooth wobbles. But it stays in. Paul eats another apple. And another one. Now Paul has a tummy ache. But the tooth is still there.

Potem tata wraca do domu. „Mam plan”, mówi. Przynosi sznurek. „Przywiązujemy sznurek do zęba. A sznurek przywiązujemy do drzwi. Potem zamykam drzwi. Bęc! I ząb jest na zewnątrz”.

Then Dad comes home. “I have a plan,” he says. He fetches a piece of string. “We tie the string to the tooth. And we tie the string to the door. Then I shut the door. Bang! And the tooth is out.”

Paul patrzy na sznurek. Patrzy na drzwi. Patrzy na tatę. „Nie, dziękuję”, mówi Paul. Biegnie szybko do swojego pokoju.

Paul looks at the string. He looks at the door. He looks at Dad. “No, thank you,” says Paul. He runs quickly to his room.
