Ray's violin moved up to 1/2 size. Tony's violin need to move to a real 1/8 size from his paper box. A big step.
"Tony, do you want to get a new violin?" mom asked.
"How much does it cost?" Tony asked.
"180 dollars," mom said.
"That is OK. Get it." Tony replied calmly with a little thinking.
This surprised mom, as Tony even didn't show much emotion on such an "expensive" thing. The other day mom asked Tony why he thought 160 dollars was OK for a violin.
Tony replied, "Because I can afford it."
He meant the money he saved in his little piggy bag. He is not kidding. He is having about $200 saved so far.
