Bob and His Toothache

Zach had the assignment to write a short story for school. He insisted that a short story only needs to be 2-3 paragraphs. He had picked the topic of "a shark that has a toothache." Here is Zach's story that came out of it...with only a very little bit of help from Mom. :)

Bob and His Toothache

Once upon a time there was a shark named Bob. One day Bob was swimming and his tooth began to ache. Bob knew exactly which of his many teeth were hurting, but he didn't know what to do.

Bob decided to ask a clown fish for help. The clown fish tried to make Bob laugh the tooth out. It didn't work. He asked the octopus for help. The octopus tried to pull the tooth out using all eight legs. It didn't work.

Bob was very sad that nobody could help. Just then Bob ran into a big, fat, sleeping whale and his tooth came out! Bob put it under his pillow and that night the tooth fish brought him a sand dollar.

The end!
