The receptionist, rubbing sleep from her eyes, watched curiously as he whispered something into the empty hallway. Curious, she followed the sound and found a small box wrapped in brown paper. Inside was a single tooth, accompanied by a note scribbled on a torn envelope: 'For Dr. Howard's collection—hope it's not too late!' Turning around, she saw a sleepy neighbor waving from his car, laughing and muttering something about 'tooth fairy deliveries.'

2. At closing time, when Alcester & Howard's receptionist had already gone home, an old man whispered into the empty hallway: 'I swear I saw Dr. Alcester polish off one of those sugar-free mints.'

The old man looked around nervously and muttered under his breath, ‘Guess that explains it.’

The delivery driver smiled, realizing his morning had been a quirky urban legend.
