Story Arc

Nolan lived in a castle in the sky. It was made of candy and dreams. But Nolan was not happy. His tooth felt wiggly.

He wiggled it left. He wiggled it right. “I want it out *now*!” Nolan said.

Nolan tried to pull the tooth out. He used a piece of string. He used a cloud puff.

The tooth stayed put. Nolan sighed. It was like a stubborn little cloud.

He asked the cloud creatures. “How can I get it out?” They shrugged their fluffy shoulders.

Nolan decided to wait. Waiting was hard. Each wiggle reminded him.

One morning, Nolan ate a gummy bear. CRUNCH! Something felt different.

He poked his tongue where the tooth used to be. It was gone! Nolan smiled wide.

That night, Nolan put the tooth under his pillow. He closed his eyes tight.

In the morning, Nolan reached under his pillow. He found a shiny twenty-dollar bill! Nolan cheered.
