Find out why the moon only smiles on those who take good care of their teeth!
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Clara who lived in an enchanted village where the stars dozed on fluffy clouds and the winds whispered lullabies.
Every night, before going to sleep, Clara would look up at the sky and smile at the moon. And, to her surprise, the moon always smiled back – a calm, round, bright smile that seemed to embrace the sky.
Clara believed that this was the moon’s secret: it only smiled at people who also knew how to smile.
But one cold, silent night, something different happened. Clara looked out of the window and didn’t see the moon smile. In fact… she barely saw the moon at all! It was hidden behind a gray cloud, looking sad.
– “Mom… the moon didn’t smile today. Could something have happened?” – Clara asked, her little eyes full of worry.
Mom sat down next to her on the bed, covered her with affection and replied:
– “Ah, my love… maybe the moon is waiting for something. Did you know that it only really smiles at those who take good care of their own smile?”
Clara thought about it. She remembered that she had been sleepy that night and hadn’t brushed her teeth before going to bed. Did the moon know that?
Before closing her eyes, Clara hugged her stuffed bunny, Branquinho, and whispered:
– “Tomorrow I’ll brush my teeth well. I promise.”
The next morning, a different kind of glow appeared on his desk. It was a little golden note with tiny letters:
Dear Clara, the moon misses your bright smile.
Brush her teeth with love and she’ll smile again.
With love,
Smile Fairy ✨
Clara jumped for joy. – “The smile fairy really exists!”
She ran into the bathroom, grabbed her magic star brush and started brushing her teeth with care and whimsy. Then she used the shiny floss that looked like it was made of moonbeams, and even sang a little song:
🎵 Brush here, brush there,
The moon sees me and starts to shine!🎵
During the day, Clara decided to spread the magic. She took crayons and paper and made colorful cards with phrases like:
“Smile with the moon!“,
”Brush with love“,
”Your smile is light!”
She distributed it to her friends at the enchanted school. She told everyone that the moon only smiled when it saw well-kept teeth, and that brushing teeth could be a magical adventure!
That night, Clara put on her starry pajamas, brushed her teeth happily and ran to the window. The moon was there, smiling more than ever, with golden dimples and shining eyes that looked like stars.
– “Good night, Mrs. Moon… look at my smile!” – whispered Clara, her heart warm.
Since then, she has never skipped her oral hygiene routine. She created an enchanted jar with moon stickers, where she glued a star to each brushing done with care.
And every night, without fail, the moon smiled. Because she knew that, in that little corner of the world, there was a little girl who understood that taking care of a smile is a way of spreading light – to herself and to the sky.
Have you smiled at the moon today?
Until the next adventure, guys!!!!
