she was playing with her cousin Kirsty. You see, Taylor had a wiggly tooth,
and it was really bothering her, a lot. All of a sudden, POP! Out came the
wiggly tooth!!
"Hooray!" said Kirsty. "At last your tooth has come out. You will have to put
it under your pillow so that the tooth fairy can come and get it and leave
you some money.“
"Oh really?" said Taylor clapping her hands with excitement.
