Let’s think through this step by step.
We are told two things:
1.
First: Five cookies were missing from the kitchen table.
→ That means someone took or ate them — they’re gone.
2.
Next: Tony was crying because his stomach hurt.
→ This tells us Tony is not feeling well, and it’s likely related to something he ate.
Now, we need to make an
inference — that means using clues to figure out what probably happened, even if it’s not said directly.
What connects these two facts?
- Cookies disappeared.
- Tony has a tummy ache.
- In the bottom picture, we see Tony sitting at the table with crumbs on his face and a plate of cookie remains — which supports the idea he ate them.
So, putting it together:
If five cookies vanished, and then Tony got a stomach ache (and looks like he just ate cookies), it makes sense to conclude…
→
Tony ate the five cookies, and that’s why his stomach hurts.
This is a logical conclusion based on the evidence — not guessing, but reasoning from what we know.
Final Answer:
Tony ate the five cookies.
