The Wobbly Tooth
Ravi had a wobbly tooth. He pushed it with his tongue all through lunch. It hurt a little, and he did not want to eat.
His friend Nell sat down beside him. "Mine came out last week," she said. "It only wobbles for a few days."
Ravi felt better. He ate his sandwich on the other side of his mouth. That night the tooth came out on his pillow.
1. How did Ravi feel at lunch?
2. What kind of friend is Nell? How do you know?

The Boots by the Door
Priya's boots were too small. Her toes pressed against the ends. But they were red, and she loved them.
For a week she said nothing. Then she could not run at playtime without it hurting.
She told her mum. Her mum did not laugh. They took the red boots to the charity shop and found a bigger pair, green this time. Priya kept the red ones by the door for a month before she let them go.
1. How did her mum react?
2. Why did Priya say nothing for a week?
