Maxwell put up his hand and waited for his teacher, Mrs. Gilbert, to notice him. "Do you have a question, Maxwell?" she asked. "It s more like a problem," Maxwell said. "I lost my tooth." Maxwell stood up and held out his hand to show his class his baby tooth. "Congratulations," Mrs. Gilbert said. Then she asked the class if anyone had any advice for Maxwell. Keiko put up her hand first. Keiko was from Japan. "Is it an upper or a lower tooth?" Keiko asked.
