Fix Tony

Tony started complaining about going to school. He refused to go to his own class. Instead he wanted to go to Ray's class. According to Mrs. Betty's analysis, he figured out school wasn't as fun as he thought in the beginning. Thus the first week honeymoon was over.  In the morning, Tony often made a scene with kicking, crying and rolling on the ground, as long as it was not dad sending him to school.
Dad was out of town for China for a couple of weeks. Then it was completely mom's job to send them to school. Mom was worried.
One morning, on the way to school, Tony was complaining that his tommy hurt.
"I want to have medicine." Tony cried.
"No, you are lying. You just don't want to go to school." Ray said.
"My tommy hurts. I really need medicine." Tony insisted.
"We are not doctors. How could we give you medicine." Ray replied.
Tony kept mourning, which really annoyed Ray and Mom.
"If you stopped crying, I will give you a candy." Ray offered.
Like a miracle, Ray did bring out a candy somewhere and put it into Tony's hand.
This bought a peace on the way.
Then when they arrived school. Tony refused to get into school.
Then Ray offered again. "If you stop crying and get into school, I will put a candy into your pocket." Ray did get another candy and calmly put it into Tony's pocket. Then Tony stopped crying and got into school as happy as a magpie.
Since that day, Tony never complained about going to school. We had no clue how it happened.
