Mayine and the Great Toothache
Mayine, a curious 7-year-old boy from Cape Town, faces a daunting toothache. She must gather the courage to visit Dr. Maya, the black dentist, to solve her problem. Through numerous challenges, Mayine learns the importance of bravery and courage.
Mayine woke up one morning with a terrible toothache. She couldn't eat her favorite breakfast, and her mom noticed her wincing in pain. She knew she had to visit the dentist, but the thought scared her. What if it hurt more? The toothache was a big problem, and Mayine needed to be brave.
Mayine's mom suggested they visit Dr. Maya, the local dentist. But Mayine was scared. She hid behind the sofa and whispered, - I don't want to go, Mom. It will hurt more. Her mom gently explained, - Dr. Maya is kind and will help you feel better.
With a deep breath, Mayine agreed to go. But as they approached the clinic, her heart raced. - What if Dr. Maya is mean? she asked anxiously. - Let's trust her, her mom replied. They entered the clinic, which smelled of mint and had bright, cheerful walls.
Mayine sat in the waiting room, her fear growing. She saw other kids leaving the clinic with smiles, but she remained nervous. - I want to go home, she whispered to her mom. Her mom hugged her, saying, - Sometimes, being brave means facing our fears.
Finally, it was Mayine's turn. Dr. Maya greeted her warmly, - Hello, Mayine! Let's take a look at that tooth. Mayine hesitated but opened her mouth. Dr. Maya was gentle and explained everything she was doing. - You're doing great! Dr. Maya praised her.
Dr. Maya discovered a tiny cavity and quickly fixed it. - All done! she said cheerfully. Mayine couldn't believe it was over so fast and it didn't hurt much. - Thank you, Dr. Maya! she said with a big smile. She realized she had faced her fear and felt proud of her courage.
