Once upon a time there lived a
handsome prince named Edward. He was the handsome of all the lads in town. His
kingdom and his parents were looking for a girl who could match him. Hence to
find the perfect match for the prince the king and the queen arranged for a
ball and invited the princesses from all the kingdoms. Prince dreamed of his
lover day and night. Prince Edward was very delighted as he was about to find
the love of his life.
The day of the ball, Prince wore
his best attire and a cloak made of gold and diamonds. He had one last look at
the mirror and went to the ballroom. Every girl in the room was mesmerized by
the beauty of prince. Every princess wanted to be the bride to Edward. But as
the prince started asking them to dance with him, they started warding off with
some excuse or the other. Some would dance but will soon start departing as the
prince would make a conversation. The king and queen could not understand what
was happening. To Prince Edward’s amaze the ballroom was empty. He left in
despair and locked himself inside the room.
The king and queen approached the
fairy godmother and asked for a solution for their son’s sadness. The fairy
godmother went to the prince, gave him a mirror and the address to the tooth
fairy. Prince could not understand but fairy godmother asked him to find tooth
fairy to unveil the mystery behind the mirror. Prince Edward left the very same
day and went through all the hurdles to reach the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy
looked at Edward and said; “Oh! Edward, if you could only have listened to me and
your parents when I gave you those wonderful teeth. You are being punished for
not taking care of the most precious gift I gave you. Prince Edward still
puzzled begged her for forgiveness. She explained him why all the beautiful
girls who came all the way to marry you ran away and she asked him to take a
few tests.
The tooth fairy gave him an apple
and told him to bite it. As he took the first bite, he could not believe what
he saw. There was blood all over the apple and around his gums. Then the tooth
fairy asked him to drink a cold glass of water and a hot glass of water. Prince
cried with deep sensation of pain and lastly she asked him to blow some air in
the small urn with insects in it. As the prince blew air in the urn, all the
insects died because of his bad breath.
The tooth fairy explained him
that these were the reason why all the princess left you and did not want to
talk. Even if you are the most handsome
man in the world Edward, no girl will marry you because of these problems and
your problems don’t end here Edward. If a solution is not found to your
problem, it will lead to gum diseases, swollen and painful gums, heart diseases
and a very painful life ahead.
Prince Edward begged the tooth
fairy to find a solution for his problem. The tooth fairy told him to follow
simple rules.
- Brush your teeth twice a day. One in the morning and one in the night.
- Gargle with lukewarm salt mixture water.
- Rinse your mouth every time you eat something.
- Use mouthwash after brushing your teeth and avoid alcohol based mouthwash.
- Visit the dentist regularly.
After explain the rules, the
tooth fairy handed Edward a box of soft bristle toothbrush, Colgate toothpaste,
a mouthwash and a calendar to remind him to practice these rules daily. Prince Edward
was very happy but then he was reminded of the mirror. He asked the tooth fairy
about the mirror. She said after every fortnight you will go in front of the
mirror and ask a question... Mirror mirror on the wall; are my teeth healthiest
of all? Until the mirror says yes, you
cannot find the love you are looking for and you must practice the rules for
the rest of your life and share it with as many as possible. The day mirror
says yes, that will be the day you can arrange for another ball in pursuit of
your love and your true happiness.
Prince Edward followed every
instruction given by tooth fairy and the day came when he got rid of all his
problems and the mirror said yes. Following tooth fairy instructions, he spread
the message and found his love and his way to happiness and healthy life.
Moral of the story: Live a healthy
and happy life by brushing your teeth twice.
