Explanation:
- **Tragedy Degree:** The story contains almost no tragic elements. There are moments of tension and potential danger, but they are overcome without any significant emotional setbacks or losses.
- **Comedy Degree:** The story has some light-hearted, comedic moments (e.g., Tom pretending to choke and joke around), making it relatively light-hearted. However, it is not overly comedic or extremely happy in a way that would warrant a higher score.
