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. Who sat beside him?
2. Retell the story in your own words.
3. What was wrong with Ravi?

Too Loud
The school band practised in the hall every Thursday. Sam played the drum. He liked it best when he could hit it hard.
"Softer," said Mrs Otu. "The flutes cannot be heard."
Sam did not want to play softly. But he tried it. This time he could hear the flutes too, winding above the drum like a bird. It sounded better than anything he had played before.
1. When did the band practise?
2. What instrument did Sam play?
3. Retell the story in your own words.
