Wally Loses a Tooth!

UH-OH! Wally lost his tooth! Today, while playing on the slide at Pier Park (which is across the street from Dodge Elementary School) he chose to break the rules. Instead of sliding feet first, he thought he’d try head first! Guess what happened?

On the way down the slide (head first) he somehow caught one of his teeth inside the slide. We heard a loud “RRRRAH!”. Once he got to the bottom, he went face first into the dirt. We ran over to see if he was o.k. When he lifted his head, his mouth dropped opened. Right away we noticed a huge gap where a tooth once was. Seconds later, that gigantic tooth came sliding down the slide after him. Lucky for Wally, wooly mammoths grow six sets of teeth in their lifetimes.

Wally learned a valuable lesson about following rules. Within minutes, he hopped back to his feet, and headed back to try the slide again. But after that, each time he slid down...he was smart and went feet first!

Do you have rules to follow that keep you safe? Wally says that now he understands more about how important it is to follow safety rules!

  2. WOW, Wally are you O.K? Rules are to keep people safe and rules should not be broken. But I hope Wallys tooth will grow back soon and I hope he will not break the playground rules again. In my school rules are important, so how do rule effect your school are they important to you or are they not important to you

  4. WALLY, ARE YOU OKAY!?! You should know that you always have to follow all the rules all the time. Rules keep you safe so you don't get hurt. You are very lucky that you will get 6 sets of teeth in your life time. Well you learned your lesson. See you soon!!
    By the way, I have a question for you: Do you think rules are nessisary? If we didn't what do you think would happen?

  5. Poor Wally! He probably had no idea that he had lost his tooth. It's lucky for him that he grows six sets of teeth. It's good Wally learned safty rules that day. Or else think of something worse that could happen. Rules are very important, make sure you follow them 24/7!
