It is lunchtime at school. Bodil sits at a long table with her friends. She opens her bag and takes out a cheese sandwich.
One of her teeth is loose. It moves when she touches it. Bodil does not like it.
She takes a big bite of the sandwich. Something is hard. She stops and puts her hand on her mouth.
The tooth is gone! It is somewhere in the bread. Bodil looks at the sandwich. She cannot see the tooth anywhere.
"My tooth is in my sandwich!" she says. Her friends stop eating and look at her.
"Where is it?" asks a boy. "I can help you look."
They open the bread. They look in the cheese. A girl takes the lettuce out and checks every leaf. Bodil looks at the table and the floor.
"I do not see it," says the girl.
"Wait," says Bodil. She looks at the last bite of bread. There it is, small and white, in the soft part.
She takes it out. She wraps it in a clean napkin. She puts it in her bag. "Now I can eat my lunch," she says.
