Dace and the Slippery Mango Pit

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Dace. He was a little sweetie with 2 new teeth. Dace was proud of his little teeth and showed them to everyone. But most of all, he liked to use them to bite! One day, Dace was playing in his highchair while his mom made babyfood. Mmm, mango puree. "Do you want to chew on the pit, Dace?" His mom asked. Dace looked away from his remote and saw the bright yellow lump on his tray. What's this, he thought.


The mango was cold and slippery. Dace used his little fists to chase it around the tray. His mom had to help him get a hold of it. When he got it in his hands, he bit into it.
The juice was cool and sweet. It ran all the way down to his elbows! But Dace didn't mind. It tasted so good! Dace used his little teeth to saw back and forth, shaving off little bits of fruit. yummers, he thought. Once Dace knew how to hold on to the mango and it eat it at the same time, he snacked happily ever after. the end.
