When in 1894 the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII de Borbón, turned 8 years, had the honor of meeting the Hispanic version of the legend of the Tooth Fairy.
Indeed, the king lost his first tooth at that age and to celebrate the great event (and monarchies are: priorities are unusual for any Republican), a priest (Luis Coloma), recycled a story that apparently is universal and probably ancient .
Just like setting signal our respective memories, that legend has it that a mouse leaves a few coins to the children who keep their temporary teeth (1) under the pillow, as will be replaced by definitive.
When parents have the misfortune of being caught in full fatigues, they say that "the Tooth Fairy dropped the coin when were taking to replace dientito".
Since nothing is for nothing, what means this legend?
The psychoanalytic folk tradition inspires me occurrence, as unfortunate as any.
The loss of a much-needed tool for food is not something that the child does voluntarily. Moreover, when they start aflojársele first teeth, is distressed and when they fall, both the loss itself as the occasional bleeding, are very disturbing.
It is then that the thought of popular talent pay, compensate him, comfort him with money. In the magical world of small, act so that he believes that "every cloud has a silver lining," or that "God will provide", or "lose brings luck."
In adulthood, some will try to lose only to be rewarded by a magical tooth fairy and other strong bet only if they have enough teeth to keep eating.
