"My toe hurts." ‎ The old lady fell into a chair, laughing a little.‎ ‎"Tom, you frightened me. Now stop crying at once and get out of bed." Tom felt a bit silly.‎ ‎"But it did hurt so much that I forgot my tooth." "Tooth,eh? What's wrong with your tooth?"‎ ‎ "One of them is loose and it aches terribly."‎ ‎" No problem," answered Aunt Polly quickly. " Sid ， get the cotton from my sewing-box." "Please ！ Aunt ！ Don't pull it out. It's stopped hurting now. Please ！ I don't want to stay at home."‎ ‎"Ah! So all this was because you wanted to cut class. Well,you'll have your tooth out and you'll go to school ！"‎ In fact, everything went quite well for Tom.
