On Saturdays, Grandpa took Omar to the market. Omar carried the basket. Grandpa carried the money.

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. What kind of friend is Nell? How do you know?
2. How did Ravi feel at lunch?
