Persuasion

Today, Mark witnessed a heated debate between two grade 7 students about whether the tooth fairy actually exists.

Student A: Do YOU think your parents have ENOUGH money to give you a DOLLAR every time you lose a tooth? That’s like, a million dollars?

Student B: I guess.

Student A: And do YOU think your parents are SNEAKY enough to slip into your room at night and put a dollar UNDER your pillow without waking you up? And to take the tooth too?

Student B ponders

Student A: OBVIOUSLY only a FAIRY can do that! And only a FAIRY has enough money to do that! The tooth fairy HAS to exist! There’s no other explanation.

Student B: You make a good point.
