Thanks. This was a clever suggestion. I'm picking it since it is the one that refers most directly to money, whereas the Fairy Godmother (while very goog) brings all the Cinderella associations with good fortune in several contexts... 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Me has picado la curiosidad, y he consultado (inevitablemente) el artículo de Wikipedia, que dice que 'se le reconoce como "Ratoncito Pérez" en los países hispanohablantes, con la excepción de algunas regiones de México y Chile en donde se le dice "el Ratón de los Dientes" y en Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay y Colombia simplemente "El Ratón Pérez".' El nombre viene de un cuento del Padre Coloma, escrito para Alfonso XIII a finales del s. XIX. Pero el origen de la figura del ratón parece ser el cuento de hadas "La bonne petite souris" de Madame D'Aulnoy (1697). ¡Qué divertido es investigar estas cosas! ¡Saludos!
Por cierto, el ratón del cuento francés es en realidad un hada.
eso de Perez yo me vine a enterar con la literatura infantil en Espanol que se publica en los USA. Para mi siempre fue nada mas el raton. A la mejor en algun otro pais de LA lo conocen como Perez pero en Mexico no.
The tooth fairy in Spanish (at least round our way) is Ratoncito Pérez. He it was who replaced our children's teeth, left under their pillow, with hard cash while they slept. Occasionally he forgot.
Sorry, late as usual. I see others have already imparted this information.
Explanation: I haven't found any evidence to support this except that it seems to fit the context - a non-existent figure who will instantly solve all your financial problems.
