Story by Laksmi A. De Guia

Tony is a boy who is always complaining about everything he does. His mother is sad. One
day, Tony was playing with his friends. His mother asked, "Tony, could you please help me wash
the dishes?"
"Oh, mother! Why me? Can't you see that I'm still playing?" Tony replied.
"Oh, Tony! When are you going to learn how to follow and stop complaining?”, said Mother. "One
day, you will be surprised that your voice is gone, and you cannot complain anymore!", mother
added.
"Here we go again, mother! I will do it later after playing," said Tony.
Later that night, Tony began to dream. He dreamed that he was in a dark place. He was so afraid
and started looking for his mother. He started to scream, but there is no voice coming out. Then
