- 16. One day a little girl was playing in the garden. Her name was Taylor and 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.
