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?

The Last Lap
Dee was fast. She won every race at sports day, and she knew it.
In the relay, she ran the last lap. Her team was behind. Dee ran so hard that her chest burned, but the other runner crossed the line first.
Dee sat on the grass. Her team came and sat with her. "You made up ten metres," said Ali. Dee had not thought about that. She had only thought about losing.
1. How did Dee feel after the race?
2. What does the first line tell you about Dee?
