Lina, who was a maid in Katthult, had such a toothache.
Alfred told her to go to the blacksmith, who pulled out aching teeth with his terrible pincers.
“How much does he charge to pull a tooth?” Lina asked.
“Fifty an hour,” said Alfred.
At which Emil said:
“I think I can get the tooth out both cheaper and faster. I know a way.”
Emil and the Bad Tooth is Astrid Lindgren’s classic tale with illustrations by Björn Berg.
