The poet left the tooth alone in his bedroom for the tooth to come out.

The poet left and the tooth came out.

The poet did not touch the tooth and wait for it to come out on its own.

The poet told the tooth to come out on its very own.

He felt calm.

He felt scared.

He felt angry.

He felt sad.
