My tooth has four long histories. The first one, I ran very fast and I stumbled/tripped and lost my real tooth so I needed to get a fake tooth. I went to see a dentist and he made a model of my tooth. I had to go to school with one missing tooth and one half-tooth, and my friend told all my classmates, teachers, and friends from other classes. At first, he didn’t believe it, and he asked me and he said “oh, it’s true.” because I was talking to him. It took 2 weeks for me to get two new fake teeth and my mom always laughed at me, and she said “take off your fake tooth now”. 2nd history: After 6 months, I couldn’t use my fake tooth anymore because it became too small for my tooth. The friend who told everybody about my tooth passed a basketball to me and the ball hit my face. And I lost my tooth again. The friend told everyone that I used my face to catch the ball. Even though my fake tooth was lost, but I also bled a lot. Then I told my dentist and he said when you come again I’ll make a new one. He also said I need to go in every 3 months.  2 weeks later I got my new tooth. 3rd history: I was playing badminton with another friend and when he smashed the ball, I caught the ball using my face again. This time, I didn’t bleed and after badminton, I called my dentist. He said before Spring Festival, we can’t make the tooth for you. The fourth history is coming soon after Spring Festival.
