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.

Ravi felt better. He ate his sandwich on the other side of his mouth. That night the tooth came out on his pillow.
1. Where does the first part of the story happen?
