"Willie, do not be afraid. It won't hurt. It won't hurt because you are seven years old." (That's what we told Willie.)

          Willie sits in the big chair. The Dentist thrusts the turn key in Willie's mouth. One twist to the right, two twists to the left. Oh Lord, Oh Lord! Poor Willie, that yell! The tooth is out. Willie howled. Willie did not bear up bravely. Willie is not a hero. No one will give Willie a box of tin soldiers.
