Explanation

One day Bunu tells her mom about her first loose tooth, feeling happy yet scared. Mom suggests pushing it with her tongue, but it doesn’t fall, so she advises waiting. 

Dad checks it gently and agrees to wait. Impatient, Bunu ties a string to her tooth and door, but after waiting, she sighs and stops. Chunnu tries to pull the string, but it hurts, so they wait again. 

Mom shares an old tale about asking Musa, a mouse, for a strong tooth by throwing the old one on the roof. Bunu dreams of Musa with a shiny tooth, wakes up, finds her tooth gone, sees it by her pillow, and throws it on the roof asking for a new one.
