Jacob's Two Front Teeth

Some people called Jacob a baby. "It's true," he said sadly. "I'm half a man. I still have baby teeth." "Baby teeth come out when they're ready," Dad explained. "But when is that?" Jacob asked.

Everyone else had their new teeth. His sister did. His classmates did. It was terrible to be the only one.

He tried everything to get them out. He wiggled them. Miss Smith stopped him. He pushed them with the tip of his tongue. Mom said no.

One evening at dinner, he found the front teeth loose, but, ... they wouldn't come out. He was desperate. His friend Sam said, "Don't worry." "Easy for you to say," said Jacob. "You have your two big front teeth."

The next morning, his mother gave him an apple. "Eat this apple," she said. "It will surprise you!" Jacob took a bite. The apple was crisp and hard. But Jacob felt something different. "Mom, look! My teeth came out!"
